Summary
Victoria’s upper house voting system is about to change forever as the government moves to ban group voting tickets — the controversial preference deals that let tiny parties sneak into parliament with less than 1% of the vote. This long-awaited reform, backed by parliamentary inquiries and supported by major parties, aims to make elections fairer by closing a loophole exploited by “preference whisperers.” With legislation needing to pass by July to affect the November election, the shift could boost Labor, the Greens, and the Coalition while squeezing out smaller crossbenchers — including some fearing a boost for One Nation. Voters can expect a cleaner, more direct reflection of their choices in the next election. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
