The Reason Party

May 19, 2022 / Loki / 8 Comments

Summary

Website:	reason.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — YouTube
Previous Names:	Australian Sex Party & Fiona Patten’s Reason Party
Slogans:	Vote for the voice of Reason
Themes:
Electorates:	Upper House: New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria Lower House: Higgins
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.
Previous Reviews:	2019 — 2018 (VIC) — 2014 (VIC) — 2013 — 2010 (VIC)

National Party of Australia

May 18, 2022 / Maz Weaver / 11 Comments

Summary

Website:	nationals.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — YouTube
Previous Names:	Australian Country Party, National Country Party
Slogans:	Getting it Done for Regional Australia
Themes:	We’re the less popular friend of the liberals
Electorates:	Upper House: New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria Lower House: Barker, Calare, Capricornia, Cowper, Durack, Gippsland, Hinkler, Hunter, Indi, Lyne, Malle, Maranoa, New England, Nicholls, Page, Parkes, Richmond, Riverina & Wide Bay
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.
Previous Reviews:	2019 — 2018 (VIC) — 2014 (VIC) — 2013 — 2010

Previous Names:	none
Slogans:	People before Profits
Themes:
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.

Fusion | Science | Pirate | Secular | Climate Emergency

May 12, 2022 / Loki / 5 Comments

Summary

Website:	www.fusionparty.org.au
Social Media:	Facebook — Twitter — YouTube — Instagram — TikTok
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: Science Party — 2019 — 2016 Pirate Party Australia — 2019 — 2013 Secular Party of Australia — 2019 — 2013 — 2010
