@NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net the reporting doesn’t seem to have caught up with the, what, decade old change from “just vote [1] and the we’ll use that candidate’s preferences” - but i wonder if it comes from a belief that people vote according to “their” party’s preference sheet? (And i wonder if people actually do that. They might, most people are pretty dumb…. :( )

@leadegroot@bne.social This was a lower house election. Preferences in lower house elections have been fully decided by voters *since Federation*. There has never been a time in modern Australian history when this dumb question made even a modicum of sense.
