The ABCreports:

The ABC’s 2025 federal election coverage will be the last to feature Antony Green AO in an on-air role.

The national broadcaster’s chief election analyst is stepping down after more than 30 years in a role he helped create.

Antony is the GOAT when it comes to elections analysis. I was thrilled to meet him a few elections ago when we were both on TV One for a NZ election.

He is across the electoral systems, boundaries and data for all states and territories in Australia. He publishes the electoral pendulum after each election showing the swing needed for each seat to change hands.

He has provided live analysis for the network on about 100 state and federal election programs, winning the universal respect of politicians, parties and electoral experts, as well as unexpectedly becoming a cult figure on social media.

People joke (but mean it) that nothing is official until it has been called by Antony Green.

It isn’t just that Antony is such an expert on electoral data and systems. He is totally non-partisan, providing expert analysis, not opinion. He is unfailingly polite and responds in great detail to questions people ask.

He covers hisdecision over on his own blog. The comments in response speak for themselves.
