So Many Options...
Senate Group Voting tickets for the Federal Election are up.
No real surprises this time around; Labor’s directing preferences to the Greens, so we shouldn’t see a repeat of the idiotic deal that gave Family First a senate seat.
On the subject of Family First, they’re preferencing the Greens dead last. Personally, I’d have thought the Sex Party or the Secular Party would be their ultimate enemy, but apparently they’re that determined to keep the Greens out.
Amusingly, the Greens are preferencing (Communications Minister) Stephen Conroy after all the other Labor candidates. So’s the Sex Party. Probably not enough to make him lose his seat, unfortunately.
In the lower house, looks like my seat’s got a wealth of choices, with seven candidates on the ballot, including an independent – who, amusingly, uses Livejournal for his campaign website. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
