And that is where we are going to leave you, because we all have better things to do than watch the final gasps of one of the most uninspiring election campaigns in modern history match up against one of the worst election campaigns in modern history.

Now we just wait and see how the numbers fall, who will take over the Liberal and National parties and what sort of negotiation pathway Labor has in the senate.

It will also be fun to see the finger pointing (which has already begun)

Prediction; Peta Credlin and co start arguing that the loss was because Peter Dutton didn’t go hard enough, that he wasn’t allowed to be himself etc (they always say it’s because the Coalition just didn’t shift far enough to the right – but a reminder Dutton picked up questions from literal neo-Nazis and tried to make a culture war out of it)

Also keep in mind that Peta Credlin, Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison advised on this campaign. So take all they have to say with a grain of salt.

Peter Dutton is in WA for *reasons* which seems like a cruel and unnecessary punishment at this stage of things for people on his bus. But whatevs!

We will be back tomorrow, live on the Australia Institute’s Facebook and YouTube channels from 5.30pm with election analysis, fact checks on issues and policies and a some drinks – so come pre-game with us before turning over for Antony Green’s swan song (we are not going all night because we know where your heart lies)

And of course, we will also be liveblogging. So hopefully we will see you tomorrow?

Until then, take care of you. Fingers crossed we can start making Australia brave again.
