Sorry, should have provided the source of that preliminary estimate. ABC 
(Oz) news.

Spin? What spin? I just copied down some numbers from the website:

77.7% Counted. Sun Oct 10 12:03AM AEST
Party Vote Swing Predict
The predictions in this table take account of historical data in all seats 
and forecast an overall election outcome.
Liberal 40.7% +3.3
National 5.9% +0.2
Labor 38.2% +0.3
Greens 7.0% +2.0
Democrats 1.1% -4.2
One Nation 1.1% -3.2
Others 6.0% +1.6

I'm in Texas, '000s of kilometers from the scene of the crime.
