The Punch tracked Julia Gillard on election day, being treated to a rockstar reception while voting at Seabrook Primary School in Melbourne’s west.
Tonight will decide just what kind of rock star she is remembered as: a Madonna or that girl who sang “I Saw The Sign” (Ace Of Bas I think the band was called)
Join us tonight here at The Punch from 6 pm EST, with Tory at the Liberal HQ function at the Four Seasons in Sydney and me at Julia Gillard’s party at the Convention Centre in Melbourne. We’ll be on our election blog till late, giving you an on the spot insight into tonight’s federal election count.
