Group Y is the apparently deregistered Socialist Equality Party
Glenn Floyd ran in 2016 – I just re-read Catherine’s commentary about him
I’ll have to look more closely into the Group Y stuff – what I’ve got here is straight from the AEC site, but I wasn’t able to line up all the parties with their old names. Ditto with Glenn Floyd – by the time I was doing the stuff towards the bottom of the page, it was about 1:30AM, and I just wanted to get it good enough to post. But never fear, I’ll be going through it again today to get anything I missed, before moving on to the other states.
I am bizarrely happy/nostalgic to see the Australian Democrats again. Hoping they have not gone down the rabbithole of crazy.
Fingers crossed 🙂
Thanks for putting all this together!
Re James Bond, who I note is ‘coming soon’, this is quite a laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV5yI2_HJi0
We’re saving James for last, so we can end with a smile on our faces!
FYI there’s something going on with the links to 2022 and 2019 commentaries for M – Socialist Alliance. Possibly a missing tag closing.
Again, thank you. There was a missing ” at the end of the href 🙂
