No more mistakes.

"My strong and united team that I have led for these past 3 years sitting around that cabinet table just in there." Scott Morrison responds to the rank and file of the Liberal Party who say he's hobbled their chances. "Thank you very much." (Groans, inaudible & laughs). #ausvotes pic.twitter.com/TSUDuM9VOj

OL @AlboMP answering the question of transition of shadow ministry members into government if Labor wins #ausvotes. He will take the same team forward. The caucus would then confirm through an election of the frontbench. pic.twitter.com/T4vcL8gU16

Fear can be a powerful emotion and there will be a bit of that over the next six weeks. But I want to appeal to Australians’ sense of optimism and hope for a better future. pic.twitter.com/VyRHG7ETpY

@AlboMP asking to be returned by the people of Grayndler for another term and requesting Australians to return Labor candidates to remove the 'Coaltion of Chaos' which has been acting like an opposition in exile sitting on the government benches. #ausvotes pic.twitter.com/aLNL528XbA

Updates from Antony Green
Antony Green with the starting point. Government has 76 seats and Labor needs 7 with a swing of about 3.2%. Government also needs to win some seats from Labor as there are others they can't hold. The opinion polls are telling a different story this time from 2019. #ausvotes pic.twitter.com/eFXhnAiNss

PM's advice to the GG was to hold both elections on the same day to "spare the Australian community the additional expense and disruption that would result from holding two separate elections within months". So where are the two election theorists today? #auspol #ausvotes

The ABC elections site is Federal Election 2022 – Australia Votes.
Important #ausvotes dates. With Easter in the campaign cycle, important for people to update their electoral details or enroll to vote.

There will be 2 weeks after nominations close until pre-polling starts. Likely parties will flood electorates with postal vote material. pic.twitter.com/PEpMiOlO3n
A few warnings from Antony Green on election material stating, "important voting information".A reminder that the Aus Electoral Commission doesn't sent anyone postal vote applications unless requested. Postal votes won't be counted on election night but pre-polls will. #ausvotes pic.twitter.com/RyiPR0QxrF

Antony Green on the WA & Qld seats Labor needs to capture. It needs a swing of 3.2% for a majority. Opinion polls are predicting that comfortably. The Coalition would need to take Labor seats in NSW to offset those gains. However, there's potentially a large crossbench in play. pic.twitter.com/CYuPFu9mrg
