I keep reading what I "called" on election night. 99% of the seat predictions on election night are automated. It is only when a result is obviously wrong that I intervene. I do sit down after the coverage and review every seat and my memory is having Goldstein in doubt.

Can we stop rating women at the Brownlow now? AFL players' partners divulge ‘lifelong body dysmorphia’ from online trolling. Comments along the vein of 'I thought WAGs were supposed to be skinny'. Latest for @abcsport: abc.net.au/news/2025-04-08/a…

A table that explains how Labor defeated Kate Hulett in Fremantle. Hulett won the polling day vote but there were more Pre-Poll, Postal and Absent votes than polling day votes and Labor won these categories easily to retain Fremantle after an election day fright. #wapol
