Electorates:	Upper House: Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and West Australia Lower House: Eden-Monaro, Goldstein & North Sydney

United Australia Party

May 11, 2022 / Maz Weaver / 5 Comments

Summary

Website:	www.unitedaustraliaparty.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — YouTube
Previous Names:	Palmer United Party
Slogans:	Save Australia
Themes:	Make Australia Great Again
Electorates:	Upper House: Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia Lower House: All
Preferences:	There are no surprises on UAP’s Senate How-to-Vote cards. All the parties preferenced are right-wing and either mildly critical of vaccine mandates, or rabidly anti-vax. The Liberal Democrats get the best slot, followed by either Shooters, Fishers and Farmers, Australian Christians, or the Informed Medical Options Party. One Nation is number 4 across the board, followed by the Australian Federation and Australian Values Parties respectively. Curiously, no HTV card was provided for the ACT and NT.
Previous Reviews:	2019 — 2014 (VIC) — 2013

Legalise Cannabis Party

Summary

Website:	legalisecannabis.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook
Previous Names:	Help End Marijuana Prohibition (HEMP) Party
Slogans:	Reduce Harm, Create Jobs and Save Money
Themes:
Electorates:	Upper House: Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia Lower House: Longman
Preferences:	This party is having no truck with How to Vote nonsense. Its official card advises people to put the Legalise Cannabis Party 1 above the line, and then to select at least six parties of their own choice.
Previous Reviews:	2019 — 2013

The Greens

May 6, 2022 / Loki / 13 Comments

Summary

Website:	greens.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — YouTube — Instagram
Slogans:	The Time Is Now
Themes:	Socially progressive, economically left wing, pro-environment. Urgent need for climate action.
Electorates:	Upper House: All states Lower House: Many electorates
Preferences:	The preferences of the Greens are fairly unsurprising: a grab bag of other left-leaning parties with the ALP bringing up the rear. In between them, there’s the Victorian Socialists, the Animal Justice Party, Legalise Cannabis Australia and Reason, in that order. It’s not hard to look at that list and wonder if this isn’t organised in increasing order of electabililty, trying to ensure that the preference travels as little distance down as it has to.

Liberal Democrats

May 2, 2022 / Loki / 0 Comments

Summary

Website:	www.ldp.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — YouTube
Previous Names:	none, but sometimes referred to as The Liberal Democratic Party
Slogans:	Low Taxes. Small Government. Individual Responsibility. Fighting for less government and more freedom
Themes:	Get the government out of your business
Electorates:	Upper House: New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and West Australia Lower House: Aston, Ballarat, Banks, Bass, Bendigo, Bennelong, Berowra, Blair, Boothby, Braddon, Brisbane, Bruce, Capricornia, Casey, Chifley, Chisholm, Clark, Corangamite, Corio, Cowper, Cunningham, Deakin, Dickson, Dobell, Dunkley, Eden-Monaro, Fadden, Farrer, Fenner, Flinders, Forde, Fowler, Franklin, Fraser, Gellibrand, Gilmore, Gippsland, Goldstein, Greenway, Grey, Higgins, Holt, Hotham, Hume, Indi, Isaacs, Jagajaga, Kooyong, Lalor, La Trobe, Lilley, Lindsay, Lingiari, Longman, Lyne, Lyons, Macarthur, Macnamara, Macquarie, Maribyrnong, Mayo, McEwan, McMahon, McPherson, Melbourne, Menzies, Mitchell, Monash, Moncrieff, New England, Nicholls, North Sydney, Page, Parkes, Parramatta, Paterson, Petrie, Reid, Richmond, Riverina, Robertson, Ryan, Scullin, Shortland, Solomon, Sturt, Wannon, Wentworth, Werriwa & Whitlam
Preferences:	The Liberal Democrats have chosen a small grouping of fellow travelers, leading off with United Australia and One Nation, followed by Morgan C Jonas at number 4. The Australian Federation Party and Australian Values Party bring up the rear, and it’s saying something that the AVP are probably the least crazy group in this listing.

Informed Medical Options Party

May 1, 2022 / Maz Weaver / 2 Comments

Summary

Website:	imoparty.com
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — YouTube — Telegram
Previous Names:	Involuntary Medication Objectors (Vaccination/Fluoride) Party
Slogans:	Vote 1 Free Choice
Themes:	Medical ‘freedoms’! All the medical ‘freedoms’ (except the ones we don’t like). But not just medical ‘freedoms’. Honest.
Electorates:	Upper House: Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and West Australia Lower House: Canning, Capricornia, Eden-Monaro, Fairfax, Herbert, Hunter, Leichhardt, Lilley, Lindsay, Macquarie, Moncrieff, Newcastle, North Sydney, Parkes, Paterson, Richmond, Robertson and Wide Bay
Preferences:	IMOP’s preferences are in lockstep with their own policies, with specifics varying from state to state. The Great Australian Party comes in at number 1 in Victoria, followed by the Australian Federation Party. Anti-vax Reignite Democracy Independents Smit and Jonas are at number 4, One Nation at 5, and the United Australia Party brings up the rear. In the ACT, surprisingly, the Legalise Cannabis Party gets the number 2 slot.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party

April 19, 2022 / Maz Weaver / 8 Comments

Summary

Website:	www.onenation.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter
Previous Names:	One Nation Pauline Hanson’s United Australia Party
Slogans:	We’ve got the guts to say what you’re thinking If you want to change the government, change who you send there
Themes:	Oppose vaccine mandates. Reduce immigration. No Net Zero. Protect and restore “the individual rights and fundamental freedoms of all Australians”.
Electorates:	Upper House: Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria & Western Australia Lower House: Barton, Bass, Bendigo, Berowra, Blair, Bonner, Bowman, Braddon, Burt, Calare, Capricornia, Casey, Chifley, Cook, Cooper, Cowan, Cowper, Corio, Cunningham, Dawson, Dickson, Dobell, Durack, Fadden, Fairfax, Fisher, Flinders, Forde, Forrest, Fowler, Franklin, Fraser, Gippsland, Goldstein, Groom, Hinkler, Hume, Hunter, Indi, Isaacs, Leichhardt, Lilley, Lingari, Longman, Lyne, Lyons, Macarthur, Maranoa, McEwen, McPherson, Melbourne, Monash, Moncrieff, Newcastle, Nicholls, Paterson, Pearce, Rankin, Robertson, Scullin, Shortland, Spencer, Warringah, Wide Bay & Wright The website proudly proclaims that One Nation will be standing in all 151 Lower House seats across Australia, so presumably there are still some candidates to be announced.
Preferences:	One Nation’s How-to-Vote card is frustratingly opaque. Rather than name parties, it advises voters to vote for the alphabetical letter designated on the ballot. In Victoria, that means the Australian Values Party is number 2, followed by the Liberal Democrats and United Australia Party. Shooters, FIshers and Farmers, and Australian Federation Party round out the top 6. The other states have the Liberal Democrats at number 2, and IMOP gets a look-in in Queensland at number 5. The exception is Tasmania, who places Independents Day and Amadino ahead of the Liberal Democrats. In Western Australia, Australian Values Party is number 2.
