Sunday 22 May 2022 11:04 PM Election 2022: Inside Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons' Albo victory party trends now
A glittering array of actors, politicians and TV stars attended an election night party hosted by media power couple Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons at their multimillion-dollar harbourside mansion in Sydney on Saturday.
Labor leader Anthony Albanese's victory over Prime Minister Scott Morrison was said to be a 'healing' experience for the predominantly left-wing guests, who had been left devastated by Bill Shorten's unexpected defeat in 2019, reports The Australian.
Married actors Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward rubbed shoulders with the likes of WSFM radio duo Brendan 'Jonesy' Jones and Amanda Keller at the exclusive event, where the attendees 'celebrated into the wee hours'.

The most high-profile guest was actor Simon Baker, the Tasmanian-born star of hit U.S. TV show The Mentalist and Hollywood movies including The Devil Wears Prada.
The day before the high-powered gathering, Baker had been pictured speaking with Allegra Spender outside a pre-polling booth in Sydney's Bondi Junction.
Ms Spender, the teal independent candidate for the Wentworth division, ended up unseating Liberal MP Dave Sharma on Saturday.
