Election night

as every election night of my adult night, this one's being spent watching the results roll in. The voting's still going on in W.a. - I think it's bad practice to have any results made public before all the polling booths are closed, but of course, since the results are being made visible (still only a few percent of the votes counted) I'm watching.

The brilliant Senator Penny Wong is one of the commenting team on the abc - http://www.abc.net.au/news/abcnews24/ - and old hand Barrie Cassidy giving running commentary - and quiet number-cruncher anthony Green. (Go, Penny Wong!)

Oh, so much at stake. Tonight the tense watching, tomorrow... exhaustion, probably. Relief and some celebration, I hope. Much analysis, either way.
