If you recount the ballot excluding all candidates except the last 7 remaining (3 ALP, 3 Lib/Np and q Green) Larissa Waters should have been elected not the ALP #3..
The way in which the Australian Senate is counted is not fair or accurate. The method of segmentation and calculation of the surplus transfer value distorts the proportionality of the count.
We need to adopt Meek or the Wright system where on every exclusion the count is rest and restarted, One transaction per candidate. The count continues until all vacant positions are elected in a single iteration.
It's not particularly humorous, and the overall impression is not positive. Run it past the next ten people who walk into the Greens office and see whether they think it will gain or lose votes.
Er... would prefer videos outlining why the Greens are the only genuinely progressive party, dedicated to public services rather than tax cuts, than confusing videos about the electoral system.
Yes I too am getting sick and tired of humour being used in political discourse. It dangerous. Its subversive, and it may even be more popular than vids of people in suits giving long speeches.
it's too early in the morning. Two strong coffees and I'll have another go at comprehending this later.....
"Hare-Clark" we may assume refers to the "Hairy Clerk" talking head Mr Luntz...?
Yay, what a brilliant idea for more democracy, as opposed to the tweedle-dee/tweedle-dum duopoly of Conservatives/Labor: BRING IN MULTI-MEMBER ELECTORATES FOR THE LOWER HOUSE!!
Have you counted the Queensland 2007 Senate vote?

Surveying the people who walk into the Greens office will probably not lead to enlightenment, unless one was seeking a recipe for hash cookies.

I am in awe. He cuts through the complexity of preferential voting like a chainsaw through vegan butter substitute! Kudos, Mr. Luntz.
