1. Be wary of the ABC.

It was once the most trusted broadcaster in the country, and rightly so. But now it's controlled by a Murdoch hack, Michelle Guthrie - she has already shut down the Online feature "The Drum", which featured articles by various journalists on the politics of the day. This is what Murdoch wanted, because it's a rival to his newspapers' online presence, and she's obliged, within weeks of taking over as Managing Director.

ABC is using their own forecasts, and currently have Libs on 70, ALP on 67, but the AEC says it's ALP 71 to Libs 70.

Take it all with a grain of salt until the final figures are released.
