Also - our preferential voting system is a beautiful thing to be defended to the death.
Forget any “optional preference” etc or worse.
A system where everyone’s vote matters is glorious

A very good thing. Those who can’t cope with the ALP and LNP not getting all the first preference votes need to learn to count past 2.
Good news for Australian politics and society.
