#AskAntony trends as Australia falls into existential crisis

It has been days since Australia voted in its federal election, but still no winner has been declared. The frustration is real, so the country is doing what it does. Namely, making funny jokes on social media.

Antony Green, ABC's election analyst, is Australia's version of Paul the psychic octopus. He has a pretty good record of picking winners, and helpfully, he has a website that asks one simple question: "Has Antony Green called the election" 

The answer for days now has been an emphatic, "No."

Luckily, there are plenty of other questions you can ask Green.

The #AskAntony hashtag has been hijacked by Twitter users to express the debilitating case of cabin fever that has taken hold nationwide. In other words, they're asking life's puzzling questions of a perpetually negative Green.

Is he wearing any pants, for example? Nope.

Is "fetch" a catchword yet?

How about the war in Iraq. A good idea?

Got religion?

Science is hard, guys.

Is Green interested in your existential crisis?

How bad are leggings, huh?

Green plays Pokémon Go, actually.
