Conservative political commentator Alan Jones has attracted attention online for wearing a garish peppermint green suit during live election TV coverage.

'Goodness me Alan Jones, I didn't know they made a suit that bad it's actually hurting my eyes, can CH 7 colour adjust or something,' one person said.
'1) Why is Alan Jones on Ch7 election coverage instead of his cherished SkyNews? & 2) who on earth told him a lime green suit was a good idea?!' said another.
'Did Alan Jones look in the mirror before he walked out the door? What the hell is with that suit?' another said.

Another Twitter user said Mr Jones had dressed for a St Patrick's Day theme.
'Alan Jones has busted out the peppermint linen suit and has an opinion on why people pre-poll, and how it probably means the result will be wrong,' tweeted another.
Record numbers of Australians chose to vote ahead of Saturday, with more than 4.7 million early votes cast.

While speaking with Sky News, Mr Jones said he was 'confused' by the election predictions.
'I find it very difficult, to know where Bill Shorten's gonna get his 76 seats from as I've gone in some depth across the country, a lot of it is hope and problematical,' he said.
'But the bookies don't lie and the bookies have Scott Morrison at almost $8 and the Labor Party at Winx odds.
'The bookies know something that I don't know.'
Mr Jones also spoke about the campaign in Warringah, a seat which was held by former Prime Minster Tony Abbott for 25 years.
'I think the campaign in this electorate has been absolutely disgraceful and some people have got a lot to answer for,' he said.
'This is a former prime minister, a decent and honourable man.'
