Two Greens MPs are likely to become one-term wonders, predicted to lose their federal seats despite the minor party's primary vote holding up.
Firebrand MP Max Chandler-Mather is on the chopping block, with Labor claiming victory in his Brisbane-based seat of Griffith after a sizeable swing to candidate Renee Coffey.
Brisbane MP Stephen Bates is also projected to lose his seat to Labor's Madonna Jarrett, taking bronze behind the major parties.
The Liberals lead in Brisbane with Labor in second with just over 30 per cent of the vote counted, but the Greens preferences are set to get Ms Jarrett over the line.
Ryan remains too close to call with more than a third of ballots counted and the contest is expected to tighten as pre-poll results come in.
But the preference flows from the Liberals in third puts the Greens in trouble.
"The degree to which the Liberal vote has collapsed is giving me a little bit of stress at the moment," a party member told AAP.
At 39 per cent of ballots counted, Labor was in third and the Liberals second by less than 1000 votes.
Greens Leader Adam Bandt is the only incumbent who's been assured a spot in parliament, but he could be joined by Samantha Ratnam in the Melbourne-based seat of Wills with a major swing towards the Greens.
"All indications are that we have held our primary vote and we cannot do much more than that and if Labor and Liberal work together on preferences, that is a bit out of our control," Mr Bandt said.
The Greens' nationwide vote was 13.4 per cent - slightly up from its result at the 2022 poll - with almost 29 per cent of the ballots counted on Saturday night.
The Greens' Elizabeth Watson-Brown has taken a 1.2 per cent haircut in Ryan while Labor has claimed a more than 10 per cent swing.
