1. Various of vote counting
STORYLINE:
Vote counting has begun in Australia’s general election after polling stations closed in Australia’s populous eastern states.
The last stations will close two hours later on the west coast, but counting starts immediately after voting ends.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his rival Peter Dutton began campaigning on Saturday in the electorally crucial city of Melbourne.
Albanese later returned home to Sydney and Dutton to his hometown of Brisbane to vote.
The leaders will address party gatherings in Sydney and Brisbane later Saturday as the Australian Electoral Commission tallies votes.
Leaders usually concede defeat and claim victory on the day of the election.
Energy policy and inflation have been major issues in the campaign, with both sides agreeing the country faces a cost of living crisis.
