Dutton has just officially given his double concession speech for both the federal and local campaigns, against Albanese and Ali France. Polls continue to trickle in, nothing surprising to see.

We're basically done at this point, but we can see Dutton very slightly coming back as pre-polls start being counted, but he's so deep in the hole that it's irrelevant.

ABC updates are sluggish, so I'm switching to the AEC's own count and projections from here.

JERRY!
Absolutely sucks, but the right choice, simply not worth the harm.
Kind of perpendicular to the point, but this album sounds like it's going to be cool as fuck. Larsen transitioned during the recording of the album, first recording it with his original vocal range before beginning hormone treatments and harmonizing against the original vocals with his new, deeper voice. This allows him to duet with himself in a way that I've never heard before.
Quoting the linked article:
Larsen’s confessional songwriting takes cues from Elliott Smith, who used multi-tracking vocals to create layers of harmony. He counts Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake and Sufjan Stevens as major influences, and calls Adrianne Lenker, who fronts the folk-rock band Big Thief, “one of the best songwriters since forever”.
If none of those artists mean anything to you, it speaks to a gentle, melancholy acoustic sound, often comprised of just vocals and guitar.
Dutton continues to claw back some of the primary vote, but the 2PP refuses to budge thanks to strong showings from Climate 200 independent Ellie Smith and Vinnie Batten from the Greens. I'll include them both in this update to show why the primary votes are so different from the 2PP.

From a four-way perspective, Dutton is thoroughly behind the left/centre-left candidates.
