I hope that you are again Elected to the Senate

How do we properly vote to keep Lab/Lib last and give them the worst chance of remaining in power? Explain it to me like I'm 5 please. Time for a fresh new leadership.

Take the time to do your own research if you don’t understand the preference system or what the major policy’s of the various parties are, particularly if you don’t believe what the freedom parties are saying Below is a concise summary of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and Australian Greens’ positions on reparations for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, focusing on financial compensation, land restitution, cultural repatriation, and other redress for colonial injustices, as of April 2025. The summary is based on official statements, policy platforms, and recent actions, tailored to address the query within a significantly reduced word count. Australian Labor Party (ALP) Position • Context: The ALP, led by PM Anthony Albanese, governs federally since 2022, prioritizing Indigenous reconciliation via the Uluru Statement from the Heart (Voice, Treaty, Truth-Telling) and Closing the Gap. • Reparations Stance: ◦ Labor supports targeted redress but avoids the term “reparations,” focusing on compensation for specific wrongs, land rights, and cultural restoration within a pragmatic reconciliation framework. • Key Policies: ◦ Uluru Statement: Committed to a Voice to Parliament (failed 2023 referendum), a Makarrata Commission for treaty and truth-telling, which may include reparative elements like compensation or land returns. ◦ Stolen Generations: Funds a $378 million redress scheme for survivors in NT, ACT, and Jervis Bay (up to $75,000 per person). Supports state-level compensation (e.g., Victoria, Tasmania). ◦ Land Rights: Backs Native Title (~40% of land, often non-exclusive) and funds land acquisition for Traditional Owners, a form of restitution. ◦ Cultural Repatriation: Supports returning Indigenous artifacts and remains, led by AIATSIS (e.g., 2023 UK returns). ◦ Socioeconomic Redress: Invests $1 billion annually in Indigenous health, education, and employment via Closing the Gap, addressing colonial legacies indirectly. • Limits: No universal reparations policy; focuses on incremental progress. Public skepticism (30% support compensation per 2023 polls) and the Voice referendum’s failure limit ambition. Sees Indigenous issues as Australia’s responsibility, not Britain’s. • Summary: Labor supports targeted compensation (e.g., Stolen Generations), land rights, cultural repatriation, and treaty processes but avoids comprehensive reparations, prioritizing practical reconciliation. Australian Greens Position • Context: A minor party led by Adam Bandt, influential in the Senate, with a radical Indigenous justice agenda. • Reparations Stance: ◦ Explicitly advocates for comprehensive reparations, including financial compensation, land restitution, cultural repatriation, and Indigenous sovereignty, to address colonial harms. • Key Policies: ◦ Reparations Fund: Proposes a $1 trillion national fund for dispossession, forced labor, and cultural losses (2023 bill by Senator Lidia Thorpe, unsupported). ◦ Land and Sovereignty: Calls for returning Crown land, strengthening Native Title, and recognizing Indigenous sovereignty via constitutional reform or co-governance. ◦ Treaty and Truth-Telling: Supports the Uluru Statement, pushing for a treaty with reparative elements and a federal truth-telling commission. ◦ Cultural Repatriation: Demands return of artifacts (e.g., Gweagal Shield from British Museum) and ancestral remains. ◦ Socioeconomic Justice: Seeks increased funding for Indigenous-led programs as indirect reparations. ◦ Britain’s Role: Calls for UK accountability (e.g., artifact repatriation, acknowledging colonial harms), though secondary to domestic focus. • Limits: Proposals lack parliamentary support (11 Senate, 4 House seats). Low public support (30% for compensation) and political resistance deem plans unrealistic. • Summary: Greens advocate for bold reparations, including a $1 trillion fund, land restitution, sovereignty, and repatriation, but face political and public barriers. Comparison • Scope: Labor’s targeted redress (e.g., Stolen Generations, Native Title) is pragmatic; Greens’ comprehensive reparations are radical but unfeasible. • Britain’s Role: Labor welcomes UK cultural repatriation but sees redress as Australia’s duty; Greens demand British accountability. • Public Context: The 2023 Voice referendum’s failure (60% No) reflects public resistance, constraining both parties, especially the Greens. Conclusion Labor supports targeted reparative measures (compensation, land rights, repatriation, treaty) within reconciliation, avoiding universal reparations. The Greens push comprehensive reparations, including financial, land, and sovereignty reforms, but lack political traction. Both see Australia as primarily responsible, with Greens uniquely calling for British accountability.

Reality. We're going to get a labour government. If you don't want labour greens, put greens last no matter what else.

One nation will get a senator elected, but we also need Gerard Rennick and hopefully Dr William Bay elected as senator as well in QLD even though ON forgot to list Great Australia party as a preference

Elections are becoming so corrupt in every way possible ,its unbelievable

Families for no 1 nations

Why don't these clowns do these things while in Parliament instead of waiting for an election. People would be more likely to vote for a Party that proves its achievements over its term

Yes I agree ☝️

Who is your candidate in Richmond?

1. One nation 2. Liberals Will stop Labor- greens - teals down the bottom

It's doing my head in seeing how many people don't understand how to vote and how preferences work. The results would be very different if they did. 🤦

You will be happy and own everything that you have worked for, or you will own nothing and be miserable, living in your 15 minute city's, and town's, like holding pens for chucks, that lay someone else's golden eggs, for a world gon mad on power and control, and the keeper's won't realise that they are also court in the same trap, vote now for a better future before it becomes the past

He's very good and honest

Yes that is true. The voters do have a preference that's why you number from one to 20 for example but what about the political parties? For example green party preference the Labour Party national preference the liberal party even though they are one party now so what party does one nation preference? 

VOTE ONE NATION GO PAULINE

Am putting them straight every time it pops up. Reckon the uniparties are anxious!!! 😉😁

Greens last, Labor 2nd last and Libs 3rd last. One nation num 1, fill the others in to your preference. Hope this helps Russell!

Can you be famous please. Work it out.

Such a shame there is no repercussions for the lies and corruption in the campaigning

Worried about the Patriots of Trumpet as I was going to add them to the mix but they will preference Labor and Greens?

Old news trying to scare people as they don't research themselves 🧡 One Nation has always stayed on course. It's time people got on board 🧡
