At the end of all our exploring, we arrive back where we started and know the place for the first time.*

Jessie McCrone and Stephen Donnelly cover the last marginal seats of the election - some of which they did not even know were marginal - in their home state of Victoria. 

What went down in Kooyong? Why are the Liberals losing the Eastern suburbs? What went wrong for the Greens in the seat of Melbourne?

We cover this and more, plus turn our eyes toward the Victorian state election, where we reflect on lessons learned from the federal results. Because once again, demographics are not destiny, and campaigns matter. 

Enjoy.
