| Previous Names: | Well, they used to be the Climate Change Justice Party, Pirate Party, Science Party, Secular Party of Australia, and Vote Planet before they, ahem, Fused, so technically, all of those. |
| Slogans: | Fighting dystopia. Fusing for a brighter future. Fusion will create a bright future for all Australians. |
| Themes: | |
| Electorates: | Upper House: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and West Australia Lower House: Adelaide, Bennelong, Berowra, Cooper, Dobell, Grayndler, Leichardt, Nicholls & Reid |
| Preferences: | Not yet provided, but their website does give this statement of intention regarding them: Fusion will recommend preferences based on other candidates’ alignment with our vision and principles. Fusion aligns with other parties that value action on the climate emergency, integrity in politics, pragmatic solutions to a stronger economy, justice, equity, and social responsibility. It’s fair to say that we do not regard the current government as good or effective, and have created the party to provide voters with an alternative that reflects their views. |
| Previous Reviews: | None as Fusion, however, some of their constituent parts have been reviewed by Cate in the past: |

| Electorates: | Upper House: Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and West Australia Lower House: Eden-Monaro, Goldstein & North Sydney |
| Preferences: | Sustainable Australia is another party that doesn’t want to suggest how you should direct your preferences. As long as you vote for them first, you can do what you like with the rest of the choices. |

| Electorates: | Upper House: Victoria Lower House: Calwell, Cooper, Fraser, Gellibrand, Gorton, Hawke, Lalor, Maribyrnong, Melbourne, Scullin & Wills |
| Preferences: | In a show of Socialist communality, the number two spot in the VS preferences goes to Socialist Alliance, with the Greens, the Australian Progressives and the Animal Justice Party following in that order. Bringing up the rear is the ALP. No great mysteries here – 2-5 are all left-leaning parties who are broadly in agreement with VS, while the ALP is party able to form a government that they least dislike. |

| Preferences: | Somewhat surprisingly, the AJP’s highest preference goes to the Labor Party. Following them are, in order, are Reason, the Greens, Socialist Alliance and Legalise Cannabis. Unsurprisingly left leaning, although most of the parties in this group put the ALP at #6, not #2. |

| Electorates: | Upper House: All Lower House: All |
| Preferences: | A mixed bag. Greens get the coveted number 2 spot in most states. Tasmania directs preferences to Jacquie Lambie Network, and ACT to David Pocock. The next preference changes depending on the state: Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party in Victoria; Shooters Fishers and Farmers in NSW; Animal Justice in Queensland, SA, and WA; Greens in Tasmania and ACT; and Liberal Democrats in NT. |

| Preferences: | It’s a right-wing roll call in most places. The United Australia Party has replaced One Nation as the preferred number 2 vote in New South Wales and Victoria. Queensland is sticking with One Nation, while South Australia has the Liberals in that spot. In the Northern Territory, it’s the Liberal Democrats. Going further down the ticket, the Northern Territory surprisingly preferences Labor at number 3, but in all other Senate races minor, right-leaning parties get the nod. |

| Preferences: | It’s a semi-random run through the left wing parties: Animal Justice at 2, Fusion at 3, followed by Labor, the Greens and Legalise Cannabis. It’s a weird mix, really. |
