I agree. I doubt I'll vote for Albo again. They've moved to the right, trying to be the eternal party of government.

Please for the love of god never give either of the majors your first preference. You get to rank all the parties don't waste 90% of your ballet by just defaulting to the most popular ones

In the past centre left has been my first preference.

Im not really a greens voter.

A reminder to all: there's far more to the ballot than who's on television! IIRC Greens were only 4th or so on my senate ballot, Labor were almost at 10th.

While I have plenty of pragmatic criticisms of The Greens, I can't abide by what Labor has done to unions and other parts of the labour movement, not to mention the frequent other betrayals which enabled this crisis and the resulting PHON populist campaign to be so potent.

You're still wasting your preferences by voting Labor first. Labor or liberal are essentially guaranteed to be in the last 2 preferences for almost every seat in the country. You can put them 2nd to last and they'll still count your vote towards them in preference flows.
