AAP wrote up some of the last minute shenanigans on the polls:

Labor sent out text messages to voters during polling day about the Greens’ decision to not preference Labor in the ultra-marginal Victorian seat of Deakin, held by the Liberals.

“Preferences are critical in keeping Dutton out and this decision by Adam Bandt will put in jeopardy Labor forming government,” the text message reads.

In the nation’s capital, Canberrans took advantage of the city’s democratic heritage by voting at Old Parliament House.

In Victoria, Kooyong MP Monique Ryan was being stopped by a journalist when a bird in a tree pooed on her.

The Liberals are desperate to wrest the seat back from the teal independent, which was previously held by former treasurer Josh Frydenberg

A reminder that preferences are decided by you, not the how to vote cards. That is just a guide
