You've captured some good material there Kevin. Must have been exciting to be in the Tally Room. I can tell you though, it was equally as exciting in front of the box with some friends and a class of bubbly.
I managed a couple of ales back at the Press Club where the ALP had a celebration. Exciting night all round. Met some great people.

It's easy to learn to do, even I did it no probs and I'm no tech person.
Thanks for the great vids, pity those Libs wouldn't get in the spirit of democracy.
Thanks Michael!
I choose to use a direct link to Youtube rather than embed the videos so that it easier for people to make comments on them and rate if they want to.
