Yesterday evening I attended a ‘NSW Election Wrap’ at the NSW state library where ABC election guru and Australian icon Antony Green was the guest speaker, and at the end of the presentation he noted that he’s covered almost 90 elections and will do “one more sweep” covering the next round of state and Federal elections through to the NSW election in 2027, and then he will retire.

Antony noted that he’s 63 now and these elections and especially election nights are getting harder and harder - he remarked the actual TV coverage of each election night was “like bungy jumping tethered to a data stream” - and fair’s fair, by 2027 he will be 67 years old. But man, he will be missed!
