Surely the chances of Tony Abbott going off into the sunset of voluntary firefighting and lifeguarding at this local beach have increased significantly after last night? (Honestly, what company would think he is an asset to their board?) There will be a great shout of joy across the land (even from the conservatives I know who hate Bill Shorten) if this comes to pass.
The betting markets are confident of a Labor win; the polling indicates it will may be closer than they expect, but the main likely losses to Labor may be in Queensland seats above Noosa where the heat addles brains and they think mining coal is going to provide long term jobs, instead of very temporary ones.
I strongly suspect this will be more than compensated for by convincing Labor wins in other states. Victoria, being the former Liberal stronghold, apparently looks like the disaster to watch for the Coalition.
It promises to be one of the more entertaining and engaging election nights to be watching the coverage.
