What the fuck is this framing

Not you of course, The Age just taking the worst possible angle

Not far off tho, the GVT is central to most of the current efforts to limit One Nation’s success

group voting tickets put significant power over who wins election in the hands of backroom operators and party negotiators They encourage games that are ultimately designed to deceive voters.  And we’ve see a flood of new parties trying to join the fray in this election

There’s the ‘Climate Action Now’ party, launched by Monica Smit, the founder of anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown group Reignite Democracy Australia.    Her brother Daniel Smit leads the “I’m Voting To Avoid The Fine” party Both want to send preferences to parties like One Nation

The Fusion Party – with its platform of “confronting the climate emergency and reversing global warming” – has applied for registration and wants to use the name of Monica Smit’s group “Reignite Democracy” on November’s ballot
