I spent some time researching my local candidates for the upcoming Australian Federal Election. There were some last minute submissions and we ended up with nine candidates standing for the seat of Flynn in Queensland.

Here’s my HTV. The candidate list is in ballot order.

@dgar

That looks pretty much like peak Queensland.

@dgar
Why on earth pro-Coal and fcking Palmers TRUMPets so high on the list ?????
Total arse-parties both of them.
@Godfrey642 because “acceptable” and “barely acceptable” are in position 1 & 2. The other 7 are all disagreeable. It becomes a choice of who you want to put last and working your way up. Also, I’ve put Trumpet of Patriots second last [8]. As I said, the list is in order that they will appear on the ballot.

@dgar

Sorry... i think i mistead the list. I read it as Anderson top of your list but now i think its that you have Greens as 1st choice.

Why are so many shitty parties so active in Qld - is it really down to mining and farming and fckwits like Palmer and Hanson pushing the racism trope ??

@Godfrey642 all good. 👍

Yes. RWNJ are everywhere.

@dgar do you need an authorisation for a post like that?
