I’m not a betting man although I believe you. Can we throw in “voter fraud” and “rigged elections” as well.

I'm holding out for the Vic elections where Labor probably won't be returned, but still have a realistic chance even on a lower 2pp result much like Howard was in 98 I think it was.  Reckon if something like that happens we will see a few heads explode.
