It has been days since Australia voted in its federal election,??? ?? but still no winner has been declared. The frustration is real, so the country is doing what it does. Namely, making funny jokes on social media.
Antony Green, ABC's election analyst, is Australia's version of Paul the psychic octopus. He has a pretty good record of picking winners, and helpfully, he has a website that asks one simple question: "Has Antony Green called the election"
The answer for days now has been an emphatic, "No."
