We are almost there. As we suspected yesterday in the blog, Anthony Albanese left Canberra and headed straight for WA as he begins his six state blitz. He’ll work his way back to the east coast pretty soon as part of a final push to shore up votes.

Peter Dutton is back in Brisbane. The Coalition is now attempting to sandbag while also focusing on the few seats they think could change hands.

All in all, it is going to be another messy day.

You have Amy Remeikis with you – and coffee number three is still on the boil. I’ll probably also hunt down something sweet. It is sweater weather in Canberra today, and my cats woke me up at 5.30am over a dawn dispute over who deserved the in between leg spot, so might as well start the comfort eating early.

Ready?

Let’s get into it.
