Labor has won the overall election, but there's this little nugget which I find endlessly amusing:
Looks like John Howard will be the first Prime Minister since 1929 to loose his electoral seat.
The former ABC television journalist, Maxine McKew, is ahead of Mr Howard 51.1 per cent to 48.9 per cent after preferences, a swing of 5.2 per cent with 69.8 per cent of the vote counted.
If Mr Howard loses his seat he will be the first sitting Prime Minister to do so since 1929.
