I'm trying my best to ignore the major parties, and so have been looking at the others - and came across this. Nice in principle, but I don't think they will do that well.

I agree they probably won't get a lot of support but someone needs to put a muzzle and a leash on the Greens.
Even if they only get there attention it might go some way to have the major parties realize that ordinary aussies still like there bush for camping/4wd.
Give them a go I say.

Just remember they are working the senate to ticket. This means they only need a small amount of votes to get a member into the Senate (approx 10%) ... depending on the state they represnt and number of voters etc. In other words they are.NOT contesting the Lower House and are thus not running for PM.
I say this largely due to the fact that you can vote these guys in the Senate and then still cast a vote for either one of the major parties in the Lower House.
Does this make sense to you guys and girls? It is something a LOT of voters don't understand and yet it os where our individual power lies. Just ask Pauline ... O0
