I'm confused - they seem to frequently call seats for one side and then change their minds quickly. Are the calls not supposed to be permanent as in Canada and America?

The calls are based on swings. The more booths in, the better the calls come.

Remember we have hand counting... so we go by swings and booth analysis to give a prediction of what "may happen based on present information".

So? We have hand counting in Canada as well, yet the networks never make "predictions", only calls.

Yea, I think it's pretty clear what's going to happen. Just a matter of time now.

Not as dramatic as we do it in North America.

I like how ABC calls a seat and then puts the loser on and asks them how they feel about losing while the losing candidate has to pretend like he still has a chance.

I think we can all agree that the Energizer Bunny has finally ran out of battery power.

I've got to agree with Lief that the losers denying that they lost is much more entertaining than the losers reflecting on why they sucked.

It should've been a quadruple bypass.

ABC have just officially called a 75th ALP seat.
