Garrett has been a knob during the campaign, ALP's swing owes nothing to him. He should have stayed in the rock biz.

Garrett re: pulp mill: "Positive affirmation of Labor's environmental policies, Green preferences, uh yeah!"

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.)

I've finished one bottle of wine. Time to uncork another....

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)

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
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:30 (eighteen years ago)
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!
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:35 (eighteen years ago)
LOL. Kerry's blaming everything on the Chaser now.
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:35 (eighteen years ago)
Now about 'spending wealth' and the young people. Well.
well I don't suppose the coalition supporters would be cheering!!! MWAHAHA
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:35 (eighteen years ago)
up to 77 now
xxxxxxxpst
― whatever, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:36 (eighteen years ago)
Channel 9 first to call Labor victory.
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:37 (eighteen years ago)
Thanks for voting WA. :)
Okay now this guy is all 'the environment is doomed' and the broadcaster is all 'wait the Coalition denied all that' and now the senator is speaking in funny voices.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:37 (eighteen years ago)
Ray Martin's keen to make an impression, that's why he's calling it now.
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:38 (eighteen years ago)
"You won't be worrying about your plasma TV in ten years' time!"

He added that Howard will take it on the chin.
He should just take off his wig if thats what he wants. xpost
