A tale of two polls - but there's just one answer.
Newshub-Reid Research and 1News-Verian have released their last opinion surveys before election night on Saturday.

Political Commentator Brigette Morton told Kate Hawkesby that the election is shaping up to be about getting the vote out.

The problem with the polls, Morton said, is that for them to actually matter the parties have to get out and get every single vote they can.
