No, not that kind.

Preference cards are now becoming available – the ABC has a central record of them here – and so we’ve updated the parties that we’ve already covered with a look at their preferences, and if the preferences are available, they’ll be covered in any newly published posts too.

Information about preferences is now provided for the following parties:

Any party reviewed after the publication of this post will also have its preferences listed, assuming that they have provided them.
