Antony Green
Antony John Green AO FASSA (born 2 March 1960) is an Australian psephologist, data scientist, journalist, and commentator. He was chief election analyst for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) until his retirement from the role after the federal election in May 2025. He continues to work part-time for the ABC in an off-air capacity.
Anthony Green was born in 1960 in Warrington, Lancashire, in northern England, to teen parents Ann and John Green. In 1964 the family migrated to Australia as Ten Pound Poms, staying first in a migrant hostel in Dundas, New South Wales. His father was an electrician by trade, and his mother worked as a seamstress.
Green grew up near Parramatta in Sydney, attended Oatlands Primary School in Oatlands, New South Wales and James Ruse Agricultural High School in Carlingford (Sydney), graduating in 1977.
Green graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics and computing, and a Bachelor of Economics with honours in politics. Green worked initially as a data analyst in the computing industry and worked as a programmer for TAFE New South Wales.
In August 1989, Green joined the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Green recalls he saw an ad for a position, on a six-month contract, as an ABC election researcher, and applied, along with 150 other applicants. His experience and his "slightly bubbly personality" helped him get the position. ABC producer Ian Carroll and journalist Kerry O’Brien recommended he stay on and he remained with the ABC for the following decades.
Green first appeared on the ABC's election-night television coverage in the 1991 New South Wales election, following with the federal election in 1993.
As of 2025[update], Green had analysed over 90 Australian elections at the territory, state and federal level for the ABC, starting with the 1989 Queensland state election to the 2025 Australian federal election. He designed a computer system that he used to display and predict election results based on automated result feeds from Australia's electoral commissions. Green has also worked on elections from as far afield as Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom for the ABC.
As the ABC's chief election analyst, Green was responsible for the content of its election website. He also has editorial responsibility for its data analysis and for their election-night results service. He is considered "the face of election night coverage".
