Comment on Labor and Coalition accused of being on fossil fuel ‘unity ticket’ as thermal coal exports hit record high

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.

    Lets assume 51% vote 1 for Liberal … then the Liberal wins regardless …
    
    Yes? That is always the case.
    
    I’m just wondering what voting Green has to do with “endorsing the Liberal Party to Drill Drill Drill, baby”, given unlike the Liberals and Labor the Greens are against all new coal and gas.

  Please tell me you understand that you can direct your own preferences?
  
  This is how you should vote:
  
  Put any parties you really like the policies of first
  
  Put your least worst major party next (or the lest worst of the two most popular candidates, if you’re not in a Lib/Lab contest)
  
  Put the worse major party next
  
  Put all the garbage parties after that.
  
  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.
