| From AAP on Guardian: | |
| The Australian share market and Australian dollar fell sharply as Donald Trump’s chances of winning the US presidential election firmed following the declaration of some key battleground states. | |
| The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index was down 3.5% at 2.32pm AEDT, after trading in positive territory all morning on expectations Hillary Clinton would win the tightly contested race to the White House. | |
| If the selling is maintained, the market will take a bigger hit than the 3.2% plunge recorded in June when the UK voted to leave the European Union. | |
| The Australian dollar hit a six-month high of 77.72 US cents at about midday on Wednesday, but dropped an hour later and was at 76.23 US cents at 2.32pm AEDT. | |

| Joel Fitzgibbon to Barnaby Joyce: Speaking about Donald Trump this morning you said “What people say on the campaign trail is mitigated by the strong advice they get once they get into office because if you just fly solo on every issue, you will create major problems for your nation”.

| Shorten to Turnbull: The prime minister has praised the action taken by his special minister of state in August 2016 to investigation Bob Day’s eligibility to sit in the Senate. Given that the special minister relied upon the same information that his minister for finance had back in February 2016, why didn’t the minister for finance take the same action back then that the minister for state took in August 2016? | Shorten to Turnbull: The prime minister has praised the action taken by his special minister of state in August 2016 to investigation Bob Day’s eligibility to sit in the Senate.
