Approximately 17 minutes until polls close on the east coast.

Sadly I think that Labor will get back in. I would dearly love for Labor to get a thumping.
I did a postal vote a week ago. Being in Canberra my vote won't make much of a difference (for my American brethren Canberra is the national capital and like Washington DC, a lefty stronghold full of government drones).

I think the odds are in their favour. But at least we look like we have some chance.

when an exit poll is that close, it can easily switch, the margin of error is what?

Stephen Smith - Labor Minister says he doesn’t know who will win. At the last election he was confident at this stage.

Strange that the Liberal party would be conservative.
But that’s not surprising since the Green party is red.

When the Liberal Party was named, it meant something quite different.

I see that Labor is leading the exit poll 51-49. However, perhaps people are afraid to tell a stranger that they voted anti-communist.

51-49, evenly, we’d win. The margins in the seats don’t quite match the overall national average.

so with a +2-2 moe, it could easily be 49/51, the other way round. i’d love to see te smirk wiped off labours face.

Liberal at one time around the English speaking world meant a person or party that was in favor of freedom. Alas that meaning has been mostly lost.

Analysts pointing out that a year ago, people were predicting we’d lose 30 seats and be out for another decade. Even if we don’t win, we’re in a much better position than anybody would have believed possible last year.
