Democrats and Greens announce Queensland Senate preference exchange
By Tracee McPate,
Queensland Democrat Senator Andrew Bartlett and the Green Party’s lead Senate candidate have announced that they will exchange Senate preferences in Queensland ahead of the major parties and Pauline Hanson.
“Whilst I strongly believe my experience and record make me the best
choice for Queenslanders in a Senate balance of power role, I also
believe it is important not to increase the major parties’ domination
of the Senate,” Senator Bartlett said.
“There is a real chance that the
major parties will split all six Queensland Senate seats between them,
which would leave Queenslanders without any voice in the balance of
power.”
“However, whilst we need to prevent total major party
domination of Queensland’s Senate representation, it is also crucial
that the balance of power is not put in the hands of extremists such as
Pauline Hanson, who is among many openly targeting my seat.”
“The
Democrats will once again be putting Pauline Hanson last with our
Senate preferences and urge all other parties to do the same,” Senator
Bartlett said.
