Little known fact, but all the AEC staff will now go back into their biostasis pods, and hibernate for the next 34 months.

Happy Star Wars Day!

Here is UK Supreme Court in 2011 saying incorrectly "The Star Wars films are set in an imaginary, science-fiction world of the future".

For as everyone knows they are set not in the future, but "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...".

@backupbear and he always plays the "oh, you have no idea how hard it is to be conservative and gay" card.

Dude, you chose to be a conservative and work against your own people, not us

Tim Wilson showing he's a piece of shit, as usual

Screenshot from the Guardian liveblog:

Independent candidate Zoe Daniel is sounding a note of caution on Sunday after claiming victory in the seat of Goldstein on Saturday night.

In a post to social media, Daniel said it would be some days before the final count will be known.

    The result in Goldstein is obviously close and it will be some days before the result is confirmed.

    I again thank the voters of Goldstein for their support as well as the many volunteers who worked tirelessly on my campaign.

This electoral race is personal for her opponent, Tim Wilson, who was quoted by The Age on Saturday night as saying he believed he would get over the line on postal votes which were being returned in his favour at a rate of two-to-one.

He said:

Daniel is welcome to claim whatever she wants – it is the voters that will decide the result.

It’ll be tight. The whole nation went in one direction. We went in the other direction. I’m pretty proud of that. Succour if I fail, but I genuinely think I’ll get there.

Shit's going down out the back. A pair of gang bangers decided to have a fight with their "woman". Now there's 3 cop cars pulling 20 years of prison out of their car

I suppose if there's anything this election has taught us, it's that 90-seat plans are a mirage.

Labor didn't have a 90-seat plan, but Dutton did.

You can't plan to get 90 MPs, but, by god, you can capitalise on your opponent's amateur campaign and end up with them
