EEEK!

Can't liveblog, too scared!

Though a few moments ago the tally ticker at the bottom of the ABC coverage went from about 69-69 between the ALP and Libs, to 62-70, then to 62-54, without a corresponding rise in the In Doubt seats (it's all speculation on current counts).

'What happened to those other seats?' someone asked.

'It's Tasmania and Western Australia,' I said, 'they've seceded.'

There was a pause. 'Well,' said my friend, 'I'd believe it of WA ...'

It's positively horrifying. Although I'm watching the AEC tally because ABC keeps making me want to climb underneath the covers and not come out until the age of reason dawns.

Cherry and I were discussing Victoria seceding - I figured we could take Tas and NZ with us, yeah?

Yaye for Melbourne! The Greens really do have to start thinking as a third party and not just the whole 'balance of power in the Senate' now - given the figures across the Board.

But OMG, South Australia, what are you thinking?

*decides to go sleep as I can't change the outcome now*
