The longtime Chief Election Analyst for the ABC is about to hang up his boots, after calling close to 100 elections in his time.

Antony is an icon, and arguably the most trusted person in Australia.

But who is he behind the numbers? Get ready to find out, as we Take 5 and analyse the man himself across five songs.

• Traffic – 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys'
• Pretenders – 'Up The Neck'
• Pete Shelley – 'Telephone Operator'
• Simple Minds – 'I Travel'
