    You no longer have to vote for the majors at all. We can now withhold votes completely.

      That’s a wasted vote, and not an option in the federal elections. It’s just as important to keep the extreme right-wing Liberal and National parties from power, as it is to preference the better minor parties (make sure to investigate as some minors and independents are extreme right-wing nutbags).

          Yes, and abstaining only gives them a larger proportion of the votes.

          Find the left wing candidates (the senate has some even if your local ballot doesn’t) and preference them, if you want to help keep out Lib and Lab.

            We’ve had zero left wing, so wouldn’t have a fucking clue what you’re on about mate.
