Early days... the nats seats always confirmed early.

Jesus can’t understand how they’d be voted back in after the shit sandwich that has been delivered over the last 6 years

Labor set to lose Blair... farking Queenslanders.

Phelps going alright in Wentworth...

Tony Abbott goooooooooooooone!!!

See ya later wit kant.

Seems a bit like a funeral parlour on the ABC broadcast at the moment.

Channel 7 coverage is shit. Tuned into 9 just in time to see the bish boot punt Tony Abbott. Television gold!!

Are things not going quite the way labor planned?

Labor should still win in a canter shouldn't they? What is WA going to do?

So how much influence will early votes have? They don’t start counting them until they’ve counted normal votes if I’m not mistaken?

Just switched back in time to see Alan Jones fuming over Abbott. Didn't he threaten to quit if Abbott lost?

Yeah.

This is going to be close.

He has also threatened to quit if the ALP wins govt and if soliciting for sexual favours in public male public toilets is made illegal, so who knows what's happening?

Queensland gonna Queensland...

Victoria is where it has to come through for ALP isn’t it if they are going to get over the line?

Things are going to have to go well in WA for Labor to win this. Farking Queenslanders.

Going by the jacket he had on I thought he had already lost a bet and wearing that was the forfeit.

But then who am I to comment on others sartorial elegance?

How's it going my comrades? At this stage it would appear that less Australians than I expected are stupid.

Seems a bit quiet in here. Labour not winning then?

And Abbott

Peter and I had a chat today at the polling station. Next time I see him I'll pass on all your well wishes.

Nah, it seems that Queenslanders are trying to drag us all down...

The rest of the country showing swings to the ALP.

Didn't know western Sydney was in Queensland but I guess we all don't know a few things.

Not much overall. There are swings to LIB in a number of seats as well. It's not the election disaster for Coalition some had predicted is it?
Morrison has only been the leader for a very short period comared to Shorten yet he was seen as the better leader. Why's that? Shorten has the charisma of a wet blanket?

So far just Queensland mainly bucking the trend... a lot of strong swings towards the ALP in safe Liberal seats they’ll hang onto.

Tasmania obviously the other problematic place for the ALP.

ALP hoping their pre polling will prove correct in Lilley and Blair.

Channel 9 and ABC have pretty much called the election for the Coalition.

Obviously a very very good campaign by the Libs in hindsight - targeted just the right seats. Labor will be stronger under a better leader next time. Unfortunate result, but that's life.

Who is next up on the chopping block for the ALP? Plibersek? She has just won Sydney by 71% (channel 9 projection), and apparently the safest seat in the country.

What's Kevin 747 up to these days?

I should’ve made a bet on Labor with Sportsbet...

If that’s the case extremely disappointing. Labor has an exceptional cabinet. ALP was to embarrassed to even wheel out anyone other than scomo. Shorten seems a genuine consensus leader that knows how to negotiate. Opportunity lost on personalities which is bewildering as scomo is a total fuckwit.

The gap between the haves and have nots is about to get wider. Suspect they’ll have a friendly senate as well so who knows what kind of legislation is going to get through

Did they release how much they have paid out?

It’s fascinating that the exit polls went completely the opposite way...

The ALP maybe hoping those 4 million early votes go their way? Looking bleak...

If it’s any consolation, the least worst party won (Libs were “more of the same” and were conservative).
Maybe the country isn’t ready for Labor

Not really...

Swings to UAP and One Nation have also given the Libs a boost...

Broken Queensland.

Holy shit, ABC has LNP on 72 seats and there are still about 6-8 WA seats to go their way. A majority government?

Wentworth going down to the wire with Sharma now back into the lead.

Obviously the country doesn't think so.
