Peter LaBarbera would be funny if he weren't 100% nutcakes. I first read about him and his obsessions with "going undercover" to leatherfests.
In Buddhism, there is much teaching about attraction/aversion and in this case, his obvious obsession/fascination with gay culture is matched by his internal revulsion of same.

Yes. It is because that is the only time you get votes flowing from a Party which already has elected one or more Senators but is no longer in the running to elect any more.
So, what happens is that the "left over" votes are allocated according to their proportion of the total votes for the original Party. If they are only a tiny proportion, they have lower value. If the surplus is bigger, they have a bigger value.
This is done so that, instead of having some "lucky" votes, all votes for that Party count, but proportionately.
This is one of many reasons why I consider myself somewhat libertarian, and why I also intend to homeschool my children when I have them (or possibly educate them privately, if I can find the right private school and afford it

I've been following the senate count in Victoria which now shows a bit more of the vote counted. http://www.abc.net.au/elections/federal/2007/results/senate/vic.htm
Can you explain to me why at count 25 the preferences don't flow at full value when they do both higher and lower?
