I saw Glenn Druery – the vote go get em guy and preference genius on Richo.Will you have him on the election coverage on Saturday night? ..
I wonder what will be covered in this ‘non-stop coverage’ – seems a lot of padding will be required
Zzzzzzzzzzz.
I know WA’s population is smaller than a national vote, but I’m pretty sure Senate results take far longer than House of Reps votes to count, because of all the preference flows.
Are Sky going to get a result before 1 or 2am EST (10 – 11am WST)? If not, what’s the point in watching former pollies and journos speculate for hours?
I think this is the first time, at least in living memory, that Senate results albeit only in WA gets an exclusive coverage.
Usually Federal election coverages have always looked at results in the House of Representatives with Senate results barely if ever getting a mention.
