Watch now as ASIO adds one of these extremist groups to a list of domestic terrorists, only to find liberal scrunts screaming at them to remove it.

I like Kate Jones so I voted 1 ALP 2 Greens this time. If I was in any other electorate it would be the opposite but I like my ALP member on a personal level.

Actually, parties get funds if you vote 1 for them even if your vote goes to preference 2 or 3.

Is there a way to vote for a party in the state election but ensure it doesn’t go to any other preference if they don’t win?

IIRC in QLD you don't have to number all the boxes and your vote "dies" if the candidates you preference don't win.

And Antony Green's twitter, as always

It's a huge swing against Labor, around -10%

I feel like Antony Green has called seats with fewer votes counted before.

Edit: yeah he's called it, massive swing towards the Greens.

~48% FPP votes is an easy win, something like 85% of preference votes would have to flow towards Labor for them to hold on.

Also Antony has called it for the Greens.

I really feel like in spite of concerted efforts by many to shift the Overton window to the right, people as a whole have had about enough of the right wing clown show/ being bullshitted to over and over for almost 4 decades.

Of course they're still terrified of people of colour, Islam and safe schools, so there's plenty to do, but there's still plenty to be optimistic about.
