I've decided to start sharing some of the stories I've written for the Northern Daily Leader on here to get more eyes on them, starting with one that is very important to me and was a challenge to get right given the sensitive subject matter. https://t.co/4JVTvlEbuA

Southwick has given a 'victory' speech, saying he's "very confident we'll hold Caulfield." That's going to wrap up my live tweets for the night. Be sure to keep watching @C31Melbourne for the rest of our @mojonewsau election coverage. #MOJOVicVotes

Just saw my colleague Wren Gillett at the Dan Andrews campaign talking about how people are getting "on the beers." Here at the Southwick campaign the beers are also flowing, but for very different reasons. Very possible Southwick has lost his seat. @mojonewsau #MOJOVicVotes

In happy news, it seems @mojonewsau's live stream was so popular it temporarily crashed the @C31Melbourne website. Go Monash! #MOJOVicVotes

Bitterness, resentment, and disappointment. These feelings hang in the air at David Southwick's election party, as you'd expect after a loss. Nine news has packed it in, called it a night. Seems not much more news will come from this side of politics. @mojonewsau #MOJOVicVotes

Sky News: Calls the Victoria state election for Labor The Liberal supporter next to me: "I can't believe how stupid people are." Sums up the vibe at Liberal Deputy Leader David Southwick's election party right now. Disappointment for the LNP. @mojonewsau #MOJOVicVotes

Making friends in the media with Nine News journalist @gillianlant at the Victorian Liberal Deputy Leader's campaign party! Thank you for showing the ropes to me and my cameraman Dongyun Kwon! @mojonewsau #MOJOVicVotes https://t.co/BDn3J5BVRG

Just finished my interview with David Southwick. I want to give my sincere thanks to him, his supporters, and @mojonewsau for giving a young journalist the chance to be in the room where it happens. Check out the interview on MOJO's Instagram and Facebook pages! #MOJOVicVotes

Things are getting a little tense at the Southwick election party as the results trickle in. Everyone is on the edge of their seats, anxiously watching the screens around the bar. @mojonewsau #MOJOVicVotes

Just had a very interesting chat with a career elections analyst at Southwick's election party. When I asked for a prediction his answer was simple, "I've got no idea on this one." @mojonewsau #MOJOVicVotes

Victorian Liberal Deputy Leader David Southwick just arrived to cheers, baked goods and plenty of hugs from close friends, family, and other supporters. @mojonewsau #MOJOVicVotes https://t.co/fJ4jwHfxtE

So far David Southwick's election party is less of a perty and more of an intimate get-together. Very few people here, but the night is young and the man of the hour isn't expected for another 15 minutes, so let's see how it goes! @mojonewsau #MOJOVicVotes

Here we are at David Southwick's election party. Would've loved to be at Victorian Liberal Leader Matt Guy's election party, but he wasn't too keen on having us, was he? @mojonewsau Will be providing live updates from the seat of Caulfield here on Twitter. #MOJOVicVotes https://t.co/ihtGx5lgOn
