    Political Parties In The House Of Representatives

    Australia’s system of government is based on the existence of political parties. While the Members of the House of Representatives are individually elected to represent constituents within each electoral division, in most cases Members belong to and support a political party.

    The role of the Senate

    The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia, or the federal Parliament, is made up of two houses—the House of Representatives and the Senate.

    Both are directly elected by the people of Australia. The functions of the Senate are to represent the states equally and to review the proposals and decisions of the House of Representatives and the executive government

    Freedom Manifesto

    Policy 1 – Freedom From COVID Alarmism

    COVID Alarmism has decimated the Australian economy, robbed us of our freedom and inflicted irreparable mental health damage on thousands of Australians.

    We must fight back and rebuild with sensible leadership and transparency at all levels of government.

    Krystle Mitchell (Liberal Democrats Senate Candidate for Victoria) bravely spoke out when she saw the disproportionate response of the Victorian Police.

    The Liberal Democrats and our candidates will always fight for freedom over fear.

    How They Voted

    Two websites OpenAustralia and TheyVotedForYou provide a tool for you to find out about how your federal representative voted.

    Go to to one of these sites and put your postcode or MP name in the search to find out how they voted. Senate votes are also listed.

    The OpenAustralia site appears to be able to provide clearer search for each Senator, although TheyVotedForYou also has an analysis of the Senate.

    Topher Field (February 2022)

    It is so very important that every freedom-loving citizen votes correctly. Explain to those who don’t understand the system, how to number the preferences.

    The preferential voting system explained by Topher Field

    1/

    Preferential Voting with Marbles!

    How to stick it to the Major Parties this election!

    How Preferential Voting works… using marbles!

    Yep, Topher uses 1,000 marbles to show how preferential voting works and how YOU can stick it to the major parties this election.

    TL/DR: Put ALL the freedom friendly minor parties at the top, put the majors last. It’s that simple.

    But if you want to UNDERSTAND how it works and why just 30% of the vote is enough to win a lower house seat, you’ll have to watch the video!

    2/

    Why preferential voting exists

    After my earlier video (see 1 above) explaining how preferential voting works in Australia, I’ve had lots of questions about WHY it exists at all!

    Well there’s actually a good reason! It’s designed to solve a very real problem and once you understand the problem, the existence of preferential voting makes sense!
