Well, I got two of my three election wishes… which isn‘t bad. Senate votes will still take awhile to be finalised. #auspol

Fingers crossed my IG algorithm stops serving up young Albo thirst traps now because 🫣 whyyyyy?!

CarolynM I can‘t wait to stop seeing THAT face. Young Albo was hot, though…😆 5d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, would have thrown my phone in a bucket of water if I‘d scrolled through a young Dutton thirst trap. 5d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, Kooyong was uncalled 🫠 the suspense!!! 4d

CarolynM Has it been declared yet? It still looks like Monique Ryan is ahead and the AEC website says 100% of the vote has been counted. 4d
CarolynM I have a friend in Bendigo. She is very sweaty about the result there😬 4d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, ooh! I‘ve been looking at the count via ABC where they are reporting that only 78% of the vote has been counted! Well that‘s quite heartening! I‘m going to bed a bit happier! Now if they could count Melbourne faster that would be great!!! Good luck to your friend in Bendigo 🤞🏼 (edited) 4d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, it still hasn‘t been called. Not sure what‘s going on with the AEC website but ABC has Monique ahead by 622 votes 🫠 (I‘m also 😩 about how slow the Melbourne count feels) 2d
CarolynM Yeah, I can't work it out either🤷‍♀️ I really hope Monique Ryan holds on. It's such a shame about Zoe Daniel. I guess there was a big protest vote last time. 2d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, every time I look Monique Ryan‘s lead has shrunk a little bit more. Melbourne has been called 🫣 who knew dismantling the seat of Higgins would have such an effect on the surrounding areas (plus, yes, there would have been a protest element last time around) 2d
CarolynM Preferences seem to be heading in the right direction now 🙂 8h

Settling in for a long night of election coverage…

Couldn‘t miss Antony Green (Australian Election Analyst and Commentator) calling his last election for the ABC…

The campaigning in my electorate has been kind of wild - my highlight was definitely the elderly lady that punched a neo Nazi in the face when he event crashed. Will be interesting to see who wins the seat.

LapReader Wow! Don‘t mess with the crones. Who did you vote for? 6d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LapReader, she very politely said “excuse me” to the people in front of her too. Greens - but I‘m hoping that the independent candidate holds it against the liberals. How about you? 6d
LapReader Greens for me too. I want my nieces and nephews to not die from climate change. 6d

CarolynM As Annabelle said, we‘re Canada 🎉 6d
DogMomIrene Just got the alert that Albanese won by a big margin. It‘s encouraging to see other countries reject Trump‘s playbook. 6d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, what a night!! 🎉 6d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @DogMomIrene, I was always hopeful for a Labor win but such a win was unexpected! And for Dutton to lose his seat as well. Absolutely delicious. 6d
CarolynM Shedding a tear after Antony's signing off. It won't be the same without him😢 6d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, seeing ScoMo on screen was a bit of a jump scare tho! It definitely won‘t be the same without him, but what a brilliant legacy! I laughed when he said he started in ‘88 with a 6 month contract and got the job because he had strong computer skills! 6d

I have snails in my letterbox & they had an absolute feast on this (attempted) hit piece… 🐌

😱, she‘d support labor-greens government??? Stop threatening me with a good time!

They are no doubt still salty that Monique ousted them out of what was considered a “safe seat” at the last election. Gonna be a long election season.

(For non Aussies the liberal party [the authors of this pamphlet] is our equivalent of the Tories or Republicans)

Bookwormjillk Bon appetite snails 4mo
CarolynM They still don‘t get it, do they? Hope that rubbish doesn‘t give the snails stomach ache. 4mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, 🐌 I have a no junk mail sticker so not a lot goes in - but it‘s rare for me to retrieve anything that hasn‘t been at least a little nibbled on by snails. 4mo
