I should add, I had a few early bets on the ALP, so financially was on a win-win tonight.

And a bottle of johnnie Walker Blue was another wager that I've picked up.

Well done Zoggy. Congrats on the outcome mate.

Thanks mate. I'm sure you'll take my post in the PM thread in the spirit intended.

Of course mate. I wouldn't be here if I didn't expect it. Krudd outcampaigned LJH convincingly. Andrew Robb needs to have a good hard look at himself.

Idiot Wozzies look to have given 2-3 seats to the Coalition.

On the other hand, Qld looks to have delivered 10 seats.

And didn't Beattie love it. The Beattie/Kennett needle was quite good viewing.

Only thing saving the Libs from a greater Rudd slide is the resources boom in WA.

Has Johnnie conceded yet, both nationally and in his own seat?

'Moderate' Liberal MPs seem to going okay across the country.

Hockey, Turnbull, Costello himself... Petro Georgiou in Kooyong, Russell Broadbent in McMillan.

If Abbott is still on the frontbench next week, we'll know they aren't serious about the next election.

And over on Channel Teen, Charismatic Harrison Ford chatting up Princess Leia.

Pwoaarrrr.

FWIW - I had about 4k of bets in this election and look like I've lost them all. Even Bowman where I backed the Lib candidate has been lost with a swing of 10%.

The only ALP bet I had was Mike Bailey in North Sydney which he lost.

All in all - totally worth it.

Sage. If Smirk has any brains he'll bin that arrogant canute as soon as he becomes elected as Opposition Leader.
