Preferences: | The Citizen’s Party have given us preference cards for every Senate contest they’re in. But only in three states does this amount to anything – everything else is literally “put us first, whoever you like in the next five”. But in Victoria, they’re preferencing, in order: People First/Heart, Australia’s Voice, the Indigenous-Aboriginal Party, the Greens and One Nation. Queensland has the same five parties (although People First is joined by Katter, not Heart), but in a different order. Tasmania, on the other hand, brings in the Shooters Fishers and Farmers at 2, Legalise Cannabis at 3 and Sustainable Australia at 4, with One Nation at 5 and the Greens bringing up the rear. They also note that is NOT2CAPS in original an endorsement of any other parties or candidates—we have significant disagreements with all other parties, but we always look for common ground on which to collaborate. On most of these forms, they note that a Public Bank is the main policy they think you should look for in other parties, and that – by implication at least – this was the major thing they looked for when making their decisions.3Not sure how they wound up with some of their Tasmanian choices on that basis, though |
