darren_strangerSince it's been the topic of a couple of posts in el-Jay land, here's a copy of an e-mail from the Greens on the preferences thingy.
Dear Greens former members, volunteers and supporters,
This email is also to make sure you know that any suggestion that the Greens are preferencing the Liberals or Nationals anywhere is entirely false.
Despite anything that might be in the media, or in any garbled reports you may receive, the Greens are NOT recommending preferences to the Liberals (or Nationals) in any seats. We ARE recommending a preference to the ALP in the vast majority of the marginals that matter, and in most other seats.
In some seats, we will leave it to the voters' choice, by providing a split or open ticket that allows them to Vote Green and then preference whichever major party they choose.
In the Upper House we have already determined to provide all preferences to like-minded parties first, then Labor, then the Conservatives, then the candidates with the most extremely opposed position to The Greens.
By contrast, the ALP has preferenced the so-called Country Alliance ahead of the Greens. This Party is essentially a Shooters-and-Loggers Party.
Anyone who expresses any doubts about Greens preferences should be referred to our website where the whole set of lower house tickets is available. Click here to download them (pdf).
You can see how preferences from above-the-line votes will flow in the upper house by clicking here.
If you would like to help us get the first Greens into Victoria's Parliament, please click here to find out where help is needed. A big thank you to all those of you who are helping already.
Best wishes,
