For those who don't know ...
Practise voting - Senate
Updated: 15 March 2019
This practise voting tool is designed to help you cast a formal Senate vote. The tool depicts a sample ballot paper only. The number and name of parties and Senate candidates for the federal election will be declared by the AEC during the election period at a public declaration of nominations.

Instructions
Select numbers using the drop down fields contained within the boxes on the sample ballot paper below. When you believe you have completed a formal vote, click the 'check my ballot paper' button at the bottom of the ballot paper. To cast a formal Senate vote, you can choose to vote either above the line or below the line.

Above the line
Number at least 6 boxes
for parties or groups in the order of your choice (with number 1 as your first choice).

Below the line
Number at least 12 boxes
for individual candidates in the order of your choice (with number 1 as your first choice).

You can number as many additional boxes as you choose when voting either above the line (i.e. more than six boxes) or below the line (i.e. more than twelve boxes).
https://www.aec.gov.au/Voting/How_to_vo ... senate.htm

I didn't know that you had to number at least 6 boxes above the line nor did I know you could do as few as 12 below the line. If you are going to take the time to number boxes at least make it count.
That's right, anything that has conservative, hanson , liberal etc

Leave off below the line

I thought with the Senate you only had to vote 1 above the line? It is written on the ballot paper, so make sure you check. I really cannot recall having to fill out so many boxes for the Senate. Perhaps I am thinking of State/Territory Elections. We had the Federal as well as the ACT Election in 2016. :huh

Last I checked, EACH of the 3 electorates in the ACT had the same 5 candidates/parties:

Labor
Greens
Liberal
Clive's Nonsense
Australian Progressives

Australian Progressives call themselves "centre left to left wing" ... another leftard party.

It's going to be a little difficult to choose who to put LAST! :rofl

We are in a safe labour seat, matters nothing what I vote for.

Choices are labor (no), UAP (no), greens(No), One nation (yesish) , conservative nationals (yes), liberal democrats (no), liberal national (Yes) and an independent (no).


Anyway, my senate vote has some meaning.
Right Wing is the Natural Progression.

No doubt whenever its on, we will be treated to the sight of watching the "popularity worm" quickly disappear out of sight when shithead shorten opens his pie hole, and we wont see it again, because when moronic morrison speaks, the worm will just go to sleep......like me....

Would you rather have Fraser Anning. I will be putting him last. I haven't come to any decision yet between Labor and Liberal even though I am a traditional Liberal voter.
