IMHO, a protest vote is a very poor exercise of one's democratic right, exercised infrequently as it is.
In this case Xenophon is an election tactic of the Greens and ors. Posted by onthebeach, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 1:57:49 PM

Beach should talk, as a Pauline Hanson supporter, his vote is all protest and worth $2.62, if she can get over 4% of first preferences.

Dear Paul,
I am considering voting for the Greens due to the simple fact that if the resident nasties on this forum - find so much wrong with the Greens - they must be worth consideration. (smile). Posted by Foxy, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 5:03:10 PM

Paul,
It is far better for the $2.62,for first vote, to go to ALA or Pauline as a n encouragement award than for it to go into the coffers of either major party. Don't forget that the Qld government still owe Pauline nearly $I million that they screwed out of her and never repaid. Plus some hefty compensation for wrongful jailing. Abbott and Beattie should be jailed for that. Posted by Banjo, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 5:08:15 PM

Hi Foxy, the two big dinosaur parties rushed out and 'corfluted' every pole in the electorate (same two candidates as last time) at $10 a pop they must have some cash to splash, Labor hold KS by 3% with Green preferences. The Liberals have a very good candidate in Michael Feneley, I've posted Michael's link below, you might give me your opinion of him, my partner knows him well, and I find him a decent bloke, We have a good candidate in James MacDonald, also ran last time, nice young bloke, knows his stuff, The Labor member Matt Thistlethwaite is a hard working member from the Labor right. We Greens put about $20k into our election budget for the seat, mainly spent on letterbox, street stalls, bus stops and train station, door knocks (That can be fun, I used to like to door knock with John Kaye a fabulous guy, great state parliamentarian, MLC, who sadly passed away recently from cancer).
On the 'coreflutes' a big wind and storm in Sydney last weekend seen the demise of Michael and Matts posters all 10,000 of them. Round one to the Greens, our meager amount are yet to go up. http://nsw.liberal.org.au/fed_liberal/michael-feneley-candidate-kingsford-smith/ Posted by Paul1405, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 6:16:26 PM

Some of your policies I really like, others I really hate - overall, good luck, Nick.
