    Just make sure you put Labor ahead of the LNP and cooker parties since they will be objectively worse. But otherwise, agreed.

      Though put the Greens ahead of Labor. Labor losing seats to the Greens, and having to depend on the Greens to govern, is a realistic possibility, and Greens MPs holding their feet to the fire could provide a counterbalance to the revolving door to corporate Australia.

        Love to see it. Exploit preferential voting, have your say (personally greens, but anything other than abortion illegal will do)

        eureka explained it well, but my slighter broader definition is:

        • Anti-vaxxer and other single-issue conspiracy parties
        • Religious right parties with sometimes innocuous names (like “Family first”)
        • Nazis

        afaik, ‘cooker’ has risen as a slang term for the wackier conspiracy theorists:

        From Wiktionary:

        1. (slang, Australia) A person who makes or uses illicit drugs, especially methamphetamine or cannabis.
        1. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A person who is cooked in the head; a crazy person.
        2. (slang, derogatory, Australia) A conspiracy theorist, especially one who is involved in politics.

        Cooker parties means there can be independent parties with uh… fringe beliefs that you may not align with. So it’s good to do research on each party or candidate
