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

That says 5% for Bennelong, doesn't it?

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.

it's not just ABC employees in the tally room though

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

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.

He added that Howard will take it on the chin.
He should just take off his wig if thats what he wants. xpost
― Trayce, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:39 (eighteen years ago)
Howard's been taking Dubya's on his chin for years man.
OK well I voted in WA but my expectation is that there will be a swing to the coalition here. It is often (sadly) a state of rednecks, mining moguls and megalomaniacs. Fortunately I don't think it will have any impact at all.
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:40 (eighteen years ago)
I hear chanting and cheering and merriment.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:40 (eighteen years ago)
The mob wants Julia!
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:41 (eighteen years ago)
Has anyone ever heard cheering like this (or any cheering, for that matter) in the counting room? Ever?
― Autumn Almanac, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:41 (eighteen years ago)
I voted in WA for 15 years - got truly sick of knowing the result before I voted. Remember it used to be a 3 hour time difference!
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:42 (eighteen years ago)
remember? um yes, I've always lived here. And I worked in the political field for some 6 years.
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:43 (eighteen years ago)
Yeah, I feel for you guys. The eastern seaboard is so ignorant.

did you hear that freudian slip from Kerry? 'swing to the abc OOPS I mean alp'
Yes! lol

You're all getting drunk now, aren't you?
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 09:52 (eighteen years ago)

enjoy it guys/gals

Oh yeah. It's the Australian way.

I've been drunk more or less since about 2pm.
Looking forward to Howard losing Bennelong though :)
― Kate, non masonic, Saturday, 24 November 2007 10:03 (eighteen years ago)
Sustained cheering happiness now...
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 November 2007 10:05 (eighteen years ago)
Yeah its looking good so far :D
― Trayce, Saturday, 24 November 2007 10:07 (eighteen years ago)
ok well that's one cool thing about being in WA. The concession comes at the perfect time to crack open a beer without being so pissed I pass out at 9pm. I reckon I can even wait for little Johnny's official capitulation! YAYAYAYAYAY
― gem, Saturday, 24 November 2007 10:11 (eighteen years ago)
Yes, the speeches can't be too far away.
