Liberals starting to concede.....looking like a reasonable shift to a landslide.

Abbott poison

Napthine has just conceded defeat.

[Francois Jackson]

As long as that 65 and his useless greens  don't win any more seats im happy

Still no certainty the Greens have won any but it looks like they will win at least one. The biggest surprise is the independent in Shepparton winning.

Antony Green's final predictions:
ALP     49
LNP     37 (Lib 31, Nat 6)
Greens  1
Ind.      1

[one-eyed]

Nat           2
ALP         13

Victorian election 2014: Dan(iel) Andrews is now in a real jam

THE first two things new premier Daniel — Dan — Andrews has to do is to get the state Treasury to cost his promises and to get both legal and­ ­financial advice on the cost of dumping the East West Link. 
 
Or maybe that should be the second and third things; perhaps the first is to decide once and for all whether it’s Premier Dan or Daniel.

As Opposition Leader Andrews unfairly and maliciously slimed treasury. As Premier he has to work with them. He’d better understand they are the best thing he will have going for him in the bureaucracy.
