I don’t see the greens having any ability to fix this. No matter how many you vote for there will always be enough Liberal Party and some number of Labor party to push through coal expansion.
Might as well take the lesser evil and make Labour the majority party by as big a margin as possible.

Or, hear me out, you could have a minority government with multiple parties and independents, many of whom want to see coal phased out.

What you’re asking for is not possible. There are several districts held barely by Labor which if flipped Liberal will make Dutton the PM.
If you vote green in one of those districts then you’re endorsing the Liberal Party of Australia to Drill Drill Drill, baby.

That’s not how preferential voting works.

Please tell me you understand that you can direct your own preferences?
This is how you should vote:
First preferences get reported, so they are a symbolic message to the politicians. But they might also win in some cases, so bonus. If your early preferences get knocked off early, then your preference will flow to who ever you put higher among the last 2 to be knocked off.
