Interview now with Tanya Plebersek (I need to check that spelling) - senior Labor Minister, and they lose as expected, a possible new Leader of the Party. She’s harping on about Tony Abbott being negative - as they have all through the campaign. She actually is the first Labor person who doesn’t seem to think they are facing a total disaster.
First figures coming in - very early ones, which includes Eden Monaro - which for the last forty years has always gone to the party that wins the election - and the Liberals are well ahead there.
