And on that note, we are going to close the blog and get ready for the big first day tomorrow. There will be a lot of first speeches, including Ali France – who is being honoured with one of the first speeches not just because she toppled Peter Dutton, but because she has also been through more personal tragedy than most people could imagine enduring, including the loss of her young son to cancer, and still wants to serve.

There is a soft spot for France in a lot of Labor areas.

We will bring you some of her speech tomorrow, as well as some of the others ahead of the first day of business tomorrow.

In other news, the Voices of Gaza vigil continues outside the parliament and will continue until 3pm tomorrow. I plan on reading some of the names of the 17,000 children who have been killed (that are recorded before the Gaza systems all collapsed)

It is a lot, all of the time. But you are not alone. Thank you for everyone who joined us today – we truly appreciate you supporting this little project. A very big thank you to Mike Bowers for, as always, being the heart of the operation. And of course, to you – who are the reason we are able to do anything. Thank you.

Until tomorrow, take care of you. Ax
