Listed all of the parties that won a seat in either house last election, plus a couple of others on the fringes of the left and right (SA and ALA respectively).

Me: Family First, after voting Liberal in 2010 and 2013. Still preferencing Liberal over Labor (would still put Liberal as #1 in some divisions), and also preferencing the Nationals and Liberal Democrats highly.

For the House: Labor or Greens depending on the local candidates; although always preferencing Labor over the coalition parties.  If there was a more left-wing independent or minor party candidate standing then I might throw them my first preference to help them retain their deposit since that's probably very helpful for some of the smaller parties

For the senate with the new voting system I might chuck a preference or two to more left-wing minor parties before going Greens/Labor for the same reason; although perhaps that's less likely for the Upper House because preference order is a lot more important for STV elections than it is for AV; even in Australia's weird version of STV.


I thought that the Democrats had died out?  They certainly had their place as the third party with the balance of power in the Senate taken by the Greens...

Prioritize Labor for the House and Green for the Senate.

I'm a little bit surprised there are so few people for Katter's Australian Party.

My first choice would be One Nation, but it's not on the list.

HOR - I'll probably vote Greens first preference, unless the Liberals change their preferencing decisions (although I'm generally a fairly partisan Green voter in the Lower House, I still feel Albanese is the best person to represent Grayndler and is one of the good Labor ones). Preferencing Labor over Liberals but that probably means jack sh**t in my electorate.

Senate - NFI because there's like 50 parties and a lot who I have no real idea about. Leaning towards either the Pirates or the Greens, but I dunno who's actually registered and who isn't. Add that NSW ballot papers tend to have the most parties/names on the ballot and I probably won't actually decide who to give my first preference to until I get into the voting booth.

Australia has compulsory preferences, so you can put One Nation first and the Liberals second, and your vote would still go to the Liberals.

For the House: Labor or Greens depending on the local candidates; although always preferencing Labor over the coalition parties.  If there was a more left-wing independent or minor party candidate standing then I might throw them my first preference to help them retain their deposit since that's probably very helpful for some of the smaller parties

For the senate with the new voting system I might chuck a preference or two to more left-wing minor parties before going Greens/Labor for the same reason; although perhaps that's less likely for the Upper House because preference order is a lot more important for STV elections than it is for AV; even in Australia's weird version of STV.

Yes, the Democrats are officially dead, they were de-registered by the AEC last year for not showing they had at least 500 members. Most Democrats became members of the Greens, and the Greens basically took a lot of their voters in the 2000s.

Labor out of the two main parties, not sure which left-wing minor party is closest to my views.
