“If Australia had a first-past-the-post system, none of the six teals who entered the parliament in 2022 would have been elected” he declared. “Of the six, most had a first preference vote which was only in the 30s or even 20s, a long way behind the first-preference vote secured by the Liberal candidate.”

This is an asinine thing to say anyway, because it assumes people would just vote for whoever they preferenced first under our current system. We know people would vote tactically if we had a FPTP system.
