Labor looks like winning the ultra marginal western Sydney seat of Greenway, following the infamous gaffe of the Liberal's candidate Jaymes Diaz.

With 28 per cent of the vote counted, Michelle Rowland has 54 per cent of the vote on a two party preferred basis, and Jaymes Diaz 46 per cent.

It should have been an easy win for the Liberals but Ms Rowland says she's effectively been campaigning for three years.

"It is promising early signs," she told the Seven Network.
