Vote counting for the 2025 federal election in Australia has begun, with the Australian Electoral Commission responsible for disseminating the vote count information. Simultaneously, Nine’s decision desk is equipped with data experts poised to relay important updates to the broadcasting teams.
These analysts play a crucial role in determining the outcome of individual seats, ultimately contributing to the overall election results. The coverage will feature Nine’s political editor, Charles Croucher, alongside National Affairs Editor Andrew Probyn, who will provide real-time analysis as the numbers come in. Later, Labor representatives Katy Gallagher and Chris Bowen will join the panel, complemented by insights from former Liberal Defence Minister Christopher Pyne and Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie.
Pyne anticipates a mix of results, suggesting some political parties may experience a resurgence, while others perceived as rising stars might underperform. McKenzie describes the election as a “report card” on a government that she believes has significantly let down the Australian public.
Today, presenters Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo will be reporting from the camps of political leaders Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the election’s developments.
