[AustralianSwingVoter]

First booth in Nepean in, Portsea clocking in at 75% Liberal lol. HP (Hilarious Place)

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Watching the ABC coverage:
Target 45
ALP 0
L/NP 1
GRN 0
OTH 0
In Doubt 87

LNP win. Calling it now.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Fun names from the micrparties; "Faith Fuhrer" is the Animal Justice candidate in Hawthorn.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

With 6% reporting we can basically call that Liberals won't form government. Seat by seat it looks like a Labor majority but you can't be certain until the pre-polls start dumping.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Hilarious ABC stat. Swing northwest of the Yarra 9.1% to Libs, Swing southeast of the Yarra 0.1% to Libs. If you're not familiar with the political geography, that's just about the most inefficient vote possible for the Coalition.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

How likely is a National gain in Shepparton?

Looks locked in. Massive local boilover there, haven't seen any reason why though. Maybe lingering outrage at the local mega-school merger?

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Antony just said he'd call it if he wasn't on national television.

“Now if I was somewhere on the Internet or on a community radio station during this coverage, I would call it at this point and nobody would notice it. But I’m here on the national broadcaster and I’m cautious. At the moment Labor has a strong pathway to power."

[AustralianSwingVoter]

The Liberal's disastrous mormon nutjob woman in Ringwood has gone down in flames, in a seat that should by rights be an easy gain.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

The Green candidate in Melton is named Praise Morris. Lol.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

What kind of politician is Micheal O'Brien?

[Logical]

The Lib/Nat primary vote is currently above Labor lmao.

[Pericles]

So it's a 2018 repeat with both parties doing worse on the primary vote? Great to see!

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Antony Green calls a Labor government.

So who's going to have an aneurysm first? Chris Kenny, Peta Credlin, Paul Murray, or Rowan Dean?

[AustralianSwingVoter]

All networks have called the re-election of the Andrews government.

The two party preferred is settling around 54.5% to Labor.

Victorian Socialists getting 10% in Footscray. Lol.

Oh few things give me more joy than Sky News Australia having a sook.

To be honest, they deserve this. As a network, they have pushed conspiracy theories, supported anti-vaxxers, and engaged in one of the most relentless hit-jobs in the history of organised media, all the while winking and nodding at some interesting people.

[Pericles]

The Liberal caucus clearly blew it by bringing back known loser Matthew Guy.

[GoTfan]

Maybe the Liberals should elect the steps as their leader.

[GoTfan]

This woman is now realising that she's wasted the last two years of her life:

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Liberals getting massive swings in seats that don't matter. 20% in Broadmeadows, 18% in St Albans, 17% in Thomastown, 14% in Mill Park, 10% in Sydenham. And of note, the Liberal primary vote is flat in those seats. It's just the Labor primary down 10-20% and scattering to silly micro parties.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Antony Green has called a majority government.

[GoTfan]

Antony Green has called a majority government.

Marshall, Morrison, now Guy.
