I think making projections an hour before polls close is stupid...

Besides, the primary behind this is only 2% behind 2010... yet they're lose 21 seats? This is all down to preferences...

The closer it gets to poll closing time, the less certain I become about what's actually happening (apart from a Coalition win, of course).

Yeah, I can't see Labor losing that much seats on a 36% primary votes.

As is everyone - Newspoll has a methodologically dodgy "exit poll", Morgan has an inexplicably high level of Greens/Others... and Galaxy appears to be shooting for the stars PLUS - the preference flows are being done on worse assumptions than the LNP's costings.

GAHHHH!!!

Although sources are telling me that Rudd will get a fright, but be fine.

Watching Sky; they are really ramping LNP fortunes in QLD.

I've got the TV on, to my fellow Australians, what channel are you watching? I'm watching Channel 9 at the moment, Amanda Vanstone is on.

Had to try my hand at this:



An Australian Cartogram! (2010 map)

Thanks to Australia's highly cartogram-resistant geography, I think it's pretty much impossible to make a very nice-looking map. I eventually opted to simply remove a large potion of Australia's interior, enabling me to mostly preserve the coastline.

So many of Australia's seats border the ocean, I was forced to push a few inland, but I did my best to only choose ones that were at least primarily inland. Smiley
Very nice. Maybe we should just change White Australia's borders to reflect your map. Grin

Thread unlocked. Use this thread to discuss the political aftermath of the election, etc, but not the results themselves - continue to do that in the results thread. Believe me, this sort of split makes sense...

I think Shorten is the presumptive favourite, but there's a fairly long list of possibilities.

Albanese seems to be the name getting thrown around as the sacrificial lamb, actually.

Which is exactly the wrong way to go about it, but that's Labor for you.

Tony Burke or Chris Bowen would be my favourites.

Bill Shorten was a guest speaker at the federal NDP convention in Montreal in April and gave a fantastic speech that was very well received.

...If anyone should be the sacrificial lamb, it should be Shorten.

I'm all for Shorten. In other news, Bob Carr is expected to quit the Senate with ... Paul Howes tipped as his replacement. No surprise, he's apparently had parliamentary ambitions for years.
