NZ election results live: 0900 GMT

PARTY:


Grrr RNZ feed breaking up and now the election results website is fidgety it's getting trickier here but:
National 45.8% (down down it goes!)
Labour33.4%
Greens 6.4%
ACT 3.7%
NZF 4.3%
Maori 2.2% still not enough to avoid overhang
Libz 826 but Bill and Ben 8936 votes - go figure

ELECTORATES:
Auckland Central remains close, but Kaye pushing ahead a bit by 859
Christchurch Central Labour only barely ahead in what should be a safe seat
Epsom Hide comfortably but not half counted yet
Hutt South Mallard seeming more comfortable
Maungakiekie National slightly ahead of Mark Gosche's former seat
New Plymouth neck and neck!

I'm getting TVNZ live stream fine.

On current numbers National and ACT could form a coalition without anyone else right? 59 National MPs , 5 ACT MPs = 64 MPs out of 122.

Sounds like they'll bring in Maori and United anyway, thinking of future elections. Pragmatism showing through already.
