Keeping the bastards honest while protecting pensions and super |
| Themes: | Being a true independent who supports the government of the day. Protecting superannuation and pensions, clearly. Stability in general. |
| Electorate: |
Upper House: VIC (Ungrouped Independent) |
| Preferences: | Mr Morris is an ungrouped independent, and as such, he relies upon people voting below the line and being able to count to twelve. Rather than telling people which way to vote, he has created six tickets, depending on whether you prefer the ALP, the Coalition, the Greens, One Nation, Hinch’s Justice Party or United Australia, and each of the tickets starts with him, and then follows a typical ticket for the preferred party in question. So the ticket which favours One Nation then preferences Rise Up Australia, the Shooters Fishers and Farmers, the LDP, the Christian Democrats and Sustainable Australia; whereas the ticket which favours the Greens then sends your votes to Animal Justice and Labor.
I’m kind of impressed at his even-handedness, to be honest. He’s not trying to tell you who to vote for, and is trying to make sure that if you vote for him, the rest of your vote will reflect your core values, whatever they are. My only quibble is that there really is no fun to be had in stopping at a mere twelve preferences on a ballot of this size, but to be fair, even I would draw the line at creating six full below the line ballots, each with a different personality… |
