Antony Green is all but calling it for Labor isn't he? Exciting times!

Pretty much. He's hesitant though.
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:08 (eighteen years ago)
The swing is definitely on though.

ugly split inf. sorry
Oooh big picture calling on ABC
5.4% swing to Labor!! 71 to 50 seats
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:10 (eighteen years ago)
OK well he's 'officially' predicting a majority of 16 seats to ALP now. I reckon Kezza can probably barely contain his excitement.

Peter Garrett speaks! (On the radio at least.) I keep expecting him to sing.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:13 (eighteen years ago)
ALP gaining 15 seats, Coalition gaining NONE. NONE. NONE. NONE. FUCKING NONE.

I think I love this country again.
We still get that Ned :)

Garrett has been a knob during the campaign, ALP's swing owes nothing to him. He should have stayed in the rock biz.
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:15 (eighteen years ago)
Garrett re: pulp mill: "Positive affirmation of Labor's environmental policies, Green preferences, uh yeah!"
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:15 (eighteen years ago)
If Maxine wins I am WRITING MYSELF OFF TONIGHT oh yeah

Did I tell you guys about the guy who came running out of the polling booth room after rob went in, and he was gleefully singing "ITS TIIIIME! yee heee!" then he clapped his hands in joy and jumped into a van and drove off. Fucking awesome.
The Virtual Tally Room is exciments! I'm watching it listening to DMXKrew and drinking cider.

Some strange woman now. Apparently a hesitant Lib person. "I'm not saying this is at all uh..........changing, uh..."
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:17 (eighteen years ago)
So Penny Wong then. (Good speaking voice, I'd say.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:18 (eighteen years ago)
I've finished one bottle of wine. Time to uncork another....
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:19 (eighteen years ago)
Yeah, some Labor person, I can't remember what she does.

nasty monty ruddock is back in berowra booooo
Penny Wong is a great speaker usually... she's a SA Labor senator I think
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:21 (eighteen years ago)
Cripes! Maxine has a 15% swing against The Rodent with 50% counted!
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:21 (eighteen years ago)
71-50 according to ABC. Labor need 76.
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:22 (eighteen years ago)
Where did this come from?

The Bennelong figure I mean
No, Ms. Wong spoke just fine, it was her counterpart who was all erm and uh. Which makes sense!
15%? Hilarity.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:23 (eighteen years ago)
Wong is grebt

Im a bit confused. ABC ticker says ALP 74 (OMG!), VTR website says 61. Hunh?
― Trayce, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:26 (eighteen years ago)
Predictions vs. actual results?
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:27 (eighteen years ago)
VTR is a bit more conservative I think.
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:27 (eighteen years ago)
Exactly.
ah maybe. ok
― Trayce, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:27 (eighteen years ago)
Holy crap! Is Kerry hitting on Julia????
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:28 (eighteen years ago)
She's "feeling good"! :)
ok ABC is calling 76 ALP seats now... at the very moment Julia was saying that she thinks she'll be deputy PM tomorrow! Pleasing? I am SO EXCITED
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:29 (eighteen years ago)
That says 5% for Bennelong, doesn't it?
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:29 (eighteen years ago)
ahaha kezza is beside himself
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:30 (eighteen years ago)
Going crazy in the background, what happened there?
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:30 (eighteen years ago)
Kerry acknowledges The Chaser! LOL

Scullin won, I think? xpost

The Labor candidate who is beating Howard is an ex-ABC employee.
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:31 (eighteen years ago)
oooh abc back to 75 for ALP.. eep exciting.
Oh yeah it'll be sweet schadenfreude if Maxine wins for sure.
Hence the ABC crowd goes beserk.
The Labor seat count on the TV graphic jumped to 76 at that moment (76 is the winning number). It's since dropped to 75 :)
xpost Yes seekaltroute, that's hugely relevant, I forgot about that.
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:32 (eighteen years ago)
it's not just ABC employees in the tally room though
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:33 (eighteen years ago)
ABC predicting 81-52 win to Labor.

gem - true. But pro-Laor, surely?
The rambling Liberal senator who is a friend of Howard's is either grimly wise or just nuts. Something about how great everyone can smile here when it comes to elections as opposed to guns and bombs. Or something.
More cheering!
