In previous years, politicians unsuccessful in retaining their patches have been shredded, crushed and given the boot.
This time around, Nine has unveiled an election “Dunk Tank” for the evening.
Throughout the evening, if an MP is turfed from their seat, they will be bid adieu with a plunge into the Dunk Tank.
“Because politics is a circus, anyway,” Federal Politics reporter Liz Daniels says.
“If a politician tonight is dumped out of Parliament by you, they will be dunked out of Parliament by us.”
