Great to see the greens in Victoria failing, they have no policies that benifit the state and Australia, they want to destroy the economy and our freedom!

@Caydn ummm what on earth does that mean?

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..

Have you counted the Queensland 2007 Senate vote?

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.

audio is a few seconds delayed from the audio, so it's strange to watch. Good information, though.
