As I type this email to you all, the newsroom is busy updating the live blog and filing print stories ready to meet our print deadline of 11.30pm.

At the same time the Coalition are set to form government for a third term and Scott Morrison pulled off a remarkable victory. Not just nationally, but in Bass and Braddon.

We had a team all over the state with journalists in all five electorates keeping our audience updated and entertained throughout the night.

Just as the poll closed, I hosted about a dozen subscribers in our newsroom and gave them all insight into our coverage, reflected on the election campaign and predicted the seats to watch.

What happens now? Or as one subscriber asked, will they keep their promises?

Stay up-to-date with the election results and reaction at www.examiner.com.au today as our newsroom reacts to the votes.

Until next week,
