As a matter of interest, on the HoR list here in the Fraser (ACT) Electorate How to Vote card.
Lee is Liberal
Leigh is Labor
Churchill states he is AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRATS (is this correct?) This possibly where I got confused with Rorschach's Liberal Democrats?
Alcazar is PUP
Ross is Rise Up
Huggins is Bullet Train
Verwey is Greens

Rorschach was saying the other day that it is the Liberal Democratic Party or something and I referred to Don Chipp ...... the joker in the Fraser Electorate states he is with the Australian Democrats (Chipp's defunct Party) ... is he lying? Where are you Rorschach?

The Australian Democrats and the Liberal Democratic Party are 2 different parties.
The Liberal Democratic Party are first (A) on the senate paper which has apparently confused many voters.

That's is exactly what I thought.

Not in the ACT.
Fraser Electorate is a very safe Labor stronghold, 14.2% ... even if we can knock that down a few pegs it will help. At the last ACT Election it was a HUNG Assembly and Labor needed the Greens to form Government!
I read somewhere that voters were flashing the Liberal How to Vote cards today ... will be interesting to see whether Fraser, at least, gains some Liberal foothold. Would love for Elizabeth Lee to win, but dare say that will not happen.

Sorry, Black Orchid,
but you are wrong. The Senate ballot paper for Fraser in the ACT has only 27 Candidates. We can only elect TWO SENATORS!
A. Animal Justice Party
B. Katter's Australian Party
C. Australian Greens
D. Stable Population Party
E. Bullet Train for Australia
F, Drug Law Reform
G. Sex Party
H. Rise Up Australia Party
I. Voluntary Euthanasia Party
J. PUP
K. LIBERAL
L. ALP
M. Australian Independents
UG Independent

The Australian Democrats are on the House Of Reps ticket and placed 3rd last by the Liberals.

It seems, many of these new minor parties that have sprung-up in recent months have funnelled their preferences to either Labor or the Greens.
This is why I chose to use my preferred parties how-to-vote card this year because I simply didn’t have the time to sift through each and every candidates preferences.

.Too much democracy.
