    He hated being called Anthony I recall - no H in Antony.

    Sharp as a tack I recall so good luck in your retirement Antony after 30 odd years as the ABC Election Analysis expert.
    Sad to see Antony retire. What a legend he is on election nights.

      Always loved watching Antony's analysis on election nights whether it was State or Federal.Used to see Antony a bit at one of our local pubs in Newtown usually on a Sunday after an election, haven't seen him for a while now, not certain whether he still lives in the area or may have given up drinking, judging by the last couple of times i have seen him on TV he seems like he may have early signs of Parkinsons, just an observation by me and a few other people but i don't whether it is true or not.

      Either way he is going to missed on election nights from now on.

        i was watching Rowan Dean on Sky News last night and he had on SA senator Alex Antic who said the way forward for the Libs was to “Make The Liberal Party Great Again” so they can “Make Australia Great Again”.

        I'm speechless

          That would be very sad if true. I hope it’s not.

            Gina's also ordered them to double-down on hard right principles.

            IMO the election result's tough as Dutton probably coulda won in Feb and I don't think that doubling down on right-wing BS (e.g. opposing the voice) was necessarily a bad strategy for Dutton. Abbott got elected on a 'don't change... double down instead' kinda agenda. However he did that while Labor had a minority government, where he could block a lot of stuff.

            Dutton's now gone and we might see Sussan taking charge (why did she change her name from Susan to Sussan? Google it... there's a name for this weird club she belongs to that believes that adding an extra S will give her some form of enlightenment). NFI what else she stands for or what direction she'd be pitching. SURELY the hard right has to take responsibility for their 'hard-@rse' leader getting obliterated though? IMO there's no mandate for them to double down on right-wing BS.

            MAGA will pass and the world will change. Politics aside, I hope that in 3 years time the world is a friendlier place and there is more economic stability. We've already seen signs of interest rate cuts and sustainable Australian budgets (including multiple surpluses under Labor). This is Labor's first 'proper' second term government for a VERY long time (I'm talking since Hawke/Keating). I hope they clutch the opportunity with both hands and deliver us a more connected, globalised, respectful version of Australia that the Libs simply couldn't offer us under Dutton. I HOPE!!!

              Well, time you give the 'traditional" owners your house then, as it's built on their land according to your view, so they own it. 100% you won't, so why pretend? - Tokenism
              Labor will find a way to put tax on that too.

                  Another 2 terms at least with that majority Albanese might be PM for four terms

                          Well in the end Labor hung on by the barest of margins in my electorate from the independent. Apparently there is only about 350 votes between them. The independent candidate only conceded late yesterday it was that tight.

                            Surprised there’s been no thoughts on the new Lib leader? It looks like the party is attempting to be more relevant and with the times but I have a feeling Sky News won’t allow it and will pretty soon start the campaign to get rid of her.
