What just happened? Election night parties are as Australian as Vegemite sandwiches and sunburn. Joel Philps hit an Adelaide election night bonanza and talked to young voters as they tried to make sense of how the votes were being cast. On the bleary next morning, he talked to Clem McIntyre from Adelaide University about the vote count and the campaign. Even before the final results came in for contested seats, Dr McIntyre's prediction that the fate of the nation would be in the hands of a few independents proved to be spot on.
