Australian election results coverage is very different from American coverage. There's such a huge focus on percentages and swings and projections, while American results actually pay very little attention to the exact percentages, instead focusing on whether or not the seat has been won and the issues behind the election. Very jarring.

John Howard's still on track to lose his seat. Cheesy

Yay! When is the last time a sitting Prime Minister has lost their seat?

I like how ABC calls a seat and then puts the loser on and asks them how they feel about losing while the losing candidate has to pretend like he still has a chance.

How do the two independents vote? Do they caucus with the Labor or Coalition?
