As awful as it sounds, I'm either going to be lost in escapist TV or asleep when the count starts - I can't bear to watch in real time the country return the result I'm 90% confident of

Yep same I don’t really want to know how racist/ gullible the country is.

I understand completely, believe me! I think I'll be following Antony Green's twitter. ABC's coverage, once a go-to, has gone to shit.

That's another thing I like to never think about ... How far the ABC has fallen even in the 14 years since I first came here...

I hate to agree with you but I think I’m going to have to agree with you on the results.

Unless everything that’s been portrayed so far is wrong it’s doubtful we’ll get the numbers needed.
