NORTHERN Victoria state MP Tania Maxwell is not expected to return to her seat on Victoria's Legislative Council, after largely conceding defeat in an online video to supporters.

The Wangandary resident posted a live video to Facebook on Sunday morning, expressing her desire to continue her advocacy work in the aftermath of the state election, after being left on the outer of a hotly contested race for Northern Victoria's five seats.

The formal announcement of the new Legislative Council is expected early next month.

The Derryn Hinch's Justice Party (DHJP) MP expressed her disappointment in the party last week, following a controversial preference deal reached by DHJP leader Derryn Hinch which saw the party's preference votes redirected to the Animal Justice Party (AJP).

Mr Hinch later slammed the AJP, who renegged on reciprocating their preferences to DHJP.

AJP candidate Georgie Purcell was as of yesterday primed to claim Northern Victoria's fifth and final seat.

"Just wanted to let you all know I didn't get through, I didn't make it for re–election," Ms Maxwell told her supporters on Sunday.

"As disappointing and as devastating as that was and is, I got up this morning, had breakfast and I'm out in the garden doing the things I love – that's my panacea.

"While it is a sad day, I've chosen not to sit around and be glum, as I thought I might be.

"I don't know what lies around the corner but I'm sure I'll be on to different things – I still see a role with my advocacy because that is my passion."

Ms Maxwell said she had a deep appreciation for the swell of community support in recent years.

"I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who has supported me over the past four years," she said.

"I can never express how grateful I am to those who have stood beside me, helped me, voted for me and have sent incredible messages that have just made this all just a little bit easier.

"It's going to take me a while to realise that I'm not going (back) to parliament – but who know what's around the corner and who knows what will happen.

"I'm just going to take each day as it comes and be out in my garden, working hard, trying to lose some of those 20–odd kilos I think I put on in parliament, and just doing what matters to me for a little while before taking on another journey to continue to help all of you in some way shape or form."

Wodonga–based Liberal Democrats representative Tim Quilty also appears on–track to miss re–election, with results to officially be announced on December 13.
