The Liberal Party

November 24, 2022 / Maz Weaver / 2 Comments

Summary

Website:	vic.liberal.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — Instagram
Slogans:	Real Solutions for All Victorians
Themes:	Some really great ideas undermined by short-sighted and vindictive thinking
Electorates:	Upper House: Eastern Victoria, North-East Metropolitan, Northern Metropolitan, Northern Victoria, South-East Metropolitan, Southern Metropolitan, Western Metropolitan, Western Victoria Region Lower House: Albert Park, Ashwood, Bass, Bellarine, Bendigo East, Bendigo West, Bentleigh, Box Hill, Broadmeadows, Brunswick, Bundoora, Carrum, Clarinda, Cranbourne, Dandenong, Eltham, Essendon, Eureka, Euroa, Footscray, Frankston, Geelong, Greenvale, Hastings, Hawthorn, Ivanhoe, Kalkallo, Kororoit, Lara, Laverton, Macedon, Melbourne, Melton, Mildura, Monbulk, Mordialloc, Mornington, Morwell, Mulgrave, Narracan, Narre Warren North, Nepean, Niddrie, Northcote, Oakleigh, Pakenham, Pascoe Vale, Point Cook, Prahran, Preston, Richmond, Ringwood, Shepparton, South Barwon, St Albans, Sunbury, Sydenham, Tarneit, Thomastown, Wendouree, Werribee, Williamstown, Yan Yean
Preferences:	The Coalition are keeping it in-house in the rural Regions with LP preferencing the Nationals candidates, followed up by other Liberals. In the Metropolitan Regions, it’s a grab bag of parties even further to the Right than the LP itself. United Australia, DLP, and Family First get second preferences, followed by a mix of One Nation, Liberal Democrats, Shooters, Fishers and Farmers, and the New Democrats. That’s rounded out by Angry Victorians and the Freedom Party.

Australian Labor Party

November 23, 2022 / Loki / 3 Comments

Summary

Website:	viclabor.com.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — YouTube
Previous Names:	none
Slogans:	Delivering for all Victorians
Themes:
Electorates:	Upper House: All Lower House: All
Preferences:	The ALP has preferenced Reason, Animal Justice or Legalise Cannabis first, and then there’s a bit of a shuffle going on, with those three parties, the Greens, Transport Matters, Victorian Socialists, Shooters Fishers and Farmers, and Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party all in the mix, and no consistency between regions, so check your HTV card carefully before voting above the line. You’ll know you’ve reached the end of these musical chairs when you hit the Liberal Democrats. The parties after that are listed in the same order every time, with Sack Dan Andrews, the UAP and One Nation bringing up the rear.

Victorian Socialists

November 23, 2022 / Loki / 0 Comments

Summary

Website:	www.victoriansocialists.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook
Previous Names:	none
Slogans:	For real change Vote Socialist
Themes:	…for real change vote Socialist
Electorates:	Upper House: Eastern Victoria Region, North-Eastern Metropolitan Region, Northern Metropolitan Region, South-Eastern Metropolitan Region, Southern Metropolitan Region, Western Metropolitan Region, Western Victoria Region Lower House: Broadmeadows, Brunswick, Essendon, Footscray, Greenvale, Kalkallo, Kororoit, Laverton, Melbourne, Niddrie, Northcote, Pascoe Vale, Point Cook, Preston, Richmond, St Albans, Sunbury, Sydenham, Tarneit, Thomastown, Werribee, Williamstown
Preferences:	Like pretty much everyone else, the Vic Socialists are mixing it up from region to region. But their top four preferences always go to some combination of Animal Justice, Legalise Cannibis, Reason and the Greens, inevitably followed by the ALP and Transport Matters in that order. The rest of their ticket is fairly unsurprising, although the DLP ranks higher than you might expect, and CAP is always near the bottom, although ahead of UAP, One Nation and Freedom.

The Reason Party

November 23, 2022 / Maz Weaver / 6 Comments

Summary

Website:	reason.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — YouTube
Previous Names:	Australian Sex Party & Fiona Patten’s Reason Party
Slogans:	A Voice of Reason
Themes:	Collaboration, support, and an end to discrimination Community based policies with a local Victorian focus
Electorates:	Upper House: Eastern Victoria, North-Eastern Metropolitan, Northern Metropolitan, Northern Victoria, South-Eastern Metropolitan, Southern Metropolitan, Western Metropolitan, Western Victoria Lower House: Broadmeadows, Brunswick, Essendon, Melbourne, Northcote, Pascoe Vale, Preston, Richmond
Preferences:	In most regions, Reason have tapped Legalise Cannabis for their second preference, followed by Animal Justice and Victorian Socialists. The Greens follow these in Northern-Eastern, Northern, South-Eastern, and Western Metro, and the ALP in Eastern and Northern Victoria. Northern Metro, where Reason are standing five candidates, preferences Victorian Socialists first, and Southern Metro preferences the Greens. For no adequately explained reason, given circumstances surrounding debate over the pandemic bill and recent events, Angry Victorians receive Reason’s fifth preference in Western Victoria.

Labour DLP

November 22, 2022 / Maz Weaver / 0 Comments

Summary

Website:	dlp.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — YouTube — LinkedIn
Previous Names:	Democratic Labour Party, Democratic Labor Party, Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist)
Slogans:	Labour, the Way it Should Be
Themes:	Freedom for those we think should be allowed to have it. No pink commie wokeness here, we’re the real Labour Party
Electorates:	Upper House: Eastern Victoria Region, North-Eastern Metropolitan Region, Northern Metropolitan Region, South-Eastern Metropolitan Region, Southern Metropolitan Region, Western Metropolitan Region, Western Victoria Region Lower House: Bass, Bayswater, Box Hill, Cranbourne, Croydon, Eltham, Eureka, Footscray, Glen Waverley, Hastings, Hawthorn, Kororoit, Laverton, Melton, Mildura, Mulgrave, Narre Warren North, Nepean, Niddrie, Pakenham, Point Cook, Ringwood, Sandringham, Shepparton, South Barwon, St Albans, Sunbury, Sydenham, Wendouree, Werribee, Williamstown, Yan Yean
Preferences:	DLP preferences clearly show their involvement in the deal organised by Glenn Druery. Without exception, their third, fourth, and fifth preferences flow to Family First, Freedom Party, and Angry Victorians, in that order. Their second preferences are also mostly drawn from parties involved in the deal. The exception is in the Western Metropolitan Region, where DLP have nominated the Independent group of Sam Alcordo and Walter Villagonzalo.

National Party

November 21, 2022 / Loki / 2 Comments

Summary

Website:	nationals.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — YouTube
Previous Names:	Australian Country Party, National Country Party
Slogans:	The Nationals for Regional Victoria
Themes:	We’re the less popular, less cool friend of the Liberals
Electorates:	Upper House: Eastern Victoria, Northern Victoria, Western Victoria Lower House: Bass, Euroa, Gippsland East, Gippsland South, Lowan, Mildura, Morwell, Murray Plains, Narracan, Ovens Valley, Shepparton
Preferences:	It’s a right-wing roll call in most places, although a very jumbled one – you could be forgiven for thinking that it was a Druery special, but Transport Matters would be further up if that were the case (while Angry Victorians and Companions & Pets would be further down). So the top half of the ticket (or tickets, in South Eastern Metro, where for some reason the Coalition has two), is a roll call of Freedom, the Shooters Fishers & Farmers, Angry Victorians, Sustainable Australia, Family First, the DLP, One Nation, United Australia, Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party, Liberal Democrats and Sack Dan Andrews. Under them, in the same order every time, are the New Democrats, Health Australia, Transport Matters, Animal Justice, Legalise Cannabis, Reason, Greens, Victorian Socialists and last of all the ALP.

Restore Democracy Sack Dan Andrews Party

November 21, 2022 / Maz Weaver / 4 Comments

Summary

Website:	viclabor.org
Social Media:	Twitter
Slogans:	Blow the Whistle on Corruption
Themes:	We may not be real, but we don’t like Dan
Electorates:	Upper House: Eastern Victorian, North Eastern Metropolitan, Northern Metropolitan, Northern Victorian, South Eastern Metropolitan, Southern Metropolitan, Western Metropolitan, Western Victorian Lower House: none
Preferences:	RDSD’s preferences, for the most part, reflect their membership in the preference deals organised by Glenn Druery. In every seat, they’ve listed some combination of Health Australia, Shooters Fishers and Farmers, Hinch’s Justice, Labour DLP, Liberal Democrats, Sustainable Australia, Transport Matters, New Democrats, and the Angry Victorians. The Freedom Party also attracts third or fourth preferences in several regions. What’s curious, though – given RDSD’s purported motivation – is that they’ve given a Labor candidate their fourth preference in Finnigan’s own seat of Western Victoria.
