I wish the AEC would release the TPP preference flow for Bradfield and Higgins.. It's been a while now.

You'll be pleased to know that one of the better booths for the Sex Party in Higgins was the Methodist Chinese Christian Church. :)

Does the AEC do TPP if one of the two is a "third Party"?

And yes, that is a nice place irony.

Re: Irony

Sorry my bad. I meant full distribution of preferences.

The Sex Party vote would have been much higher if they had more people staffing polling booths. They could only manage a third or so. The difference was staggering. In the aforementioned booth they received over 5% of the primaries, but in the other polling booth in the same suburb they received only 1.5%.

Full distribution is a reasonable thing to want :)

That staffing booths makes a difference is an old lesson of Oz politics. In the first ACT self-government election, an environmentalist independent failed to get elected solely due to failing to staff the pre-election voting venue.
