In one of the LNP’s dirtiest campaigns for years it has won the by-election in Hinchinbrook with 41.3 percent of the vote including preferences.
Katters Australian Party was second on 30.2 per cent with preferences and One Nation polled 13.5 per cent, giving its third preference to the Liberal Party.
Today party leader Robbie Katter said if every ON voter had not followed their how to vote card which preferenced the Liberals ahead of KAP, his party could have won the seat.
“Mark Molachino (KAP candidate) ran a great campaign without criticising his opponents and the Hnchinbrook electorate will miss KAP and its hard work,” Mr Katter said.
One Nation did a dirty deal with the Liberals to get rid of aligned independent KAP and hand Hinchinbrook to the Brisbane-centric party.
On analysis of the voting trends it could be assumed the LNP voters of Hinchinbrook are suffering from an acute case of Stockholm Syndrome.
It could be reasoned that only a few of these LNP supporters have been struck down with Covid mRNA vaccine injuries compliments of the federal Liberals compared to other parts of the country especially cities where there have been innumerable deaths and injuries from the jab since 2021.
Liberal Senator Alex Antic blew the whistle on the corrupt federal LNP stating in the Senate there were more than 33,000 excess deaths nationally in 2022-23 following the vaccine rollout, which have increased exponentially since then.
Accusing the LNP of democide aided and abetted by Labor and Greens, is an accusation now backed up with fact:

The swing was already there, from what little I’ve heard, but to your argument, if Pauline’s demand was not agreed then they had no agreement. I’m not a big fan of Pauline but she is effective and as Matt Canavan has shown, better to be in the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.
In this case anyway.
Personally I prefer outside.
We have to accept in “democracy” there are large numbers of uninformed dumdums whose votes are there for the taking. Someone like Rennick is never going to swing that mob his way.
People may have decided this ALP is just too much and they need to vote blue just to tame the monster. I agree that’s how the UnaParty is designed to work.
Joe–Pauline doublecrossed the freedom network by preferencing the Liberals. Katter and the others organised a meeting 12 months ago with Pauline about amalgamation to which all basically agreed but Pauline said she had to be the boss. End of story. Ed
What a bunch of Prima Donnas we have, if they want to be ineffective just keep going, but credit to Pauline and Malcolm Roberts, Clive and Babet, Antic, Canavan, people who got/retained a seat by one means or another.
It’s up to Katter to give Pauline a better deal, where do they think LNP preferences will go, to ALP or Greens ? Best would be a merger. Katter even tried to get some votes in WA a few years ago. Don’t they have strategists ???
Australian defence minister – taxpayers will be making another donation to Ukraine?? WHY IS NO ONE OUTRAGED ?

You can’t vote your way out of democide, you can’t vote your way out of tyranny, wake the f34k up sheople
Bibi, it’s not just time the preferential voting scheme was revised, it’s time it was scrapped. It is unconstitutional. Sections 8 & 30 state that an elector can only vote once. Preferential voting allows more than one choice, so that if your choice of candidate does not have a majority, your vote (through preferences) can go to someone you did not choose. This has always been to the advantage of the major parties.
This system, introduced in 1917 by Billy Hughes, was designed for political advantage, not for the benefit of the electorate. It was a way to maintain a two-party hegemony. Since Federation, the Australian government has been formed by only one of two parties, each of which has consistently ignored the Constitution.
Minor parties have been tolerated, but only to maintain an illusion of democracy, or, as with the Greens and the Teals, as an excuse to introduce legislation which the major party would be hesitant to do because of bad publicity.
The Hinchinbrook election is just another example of uniparty dominance and the need to retain power at all costs, whether by electoral fraud or by cutting deals with other players. Whichever way, money and power are the motivating factors.
Don’t blame the voters. They are the victims of a group of ruthless fraudsters. Claiming this is a democracy is the biggest fraud.
Unbelievable..!! It’s waaaaay past time our preferential voting system was revised..
Be very careful people … ONE NATION PREFERRED ON BEHALF OF THE UNIPARTY/LIBS IN HINCHINBROOK AND GOT KATTER KICKED OUT.
THAT SHOULD MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN.!!!!!
IT IS VERY HARD TO KNOW WHO YOU CAN TRUST NOW.
LISTEN TO GOD/THE HOLY SPIRIT BEFORE YOU VOTE.
FAKE ELECTIONS AND FAKE MEDIA AND FAKE POLITICIANS … THERE IS ALMOST NO-ONE TO TRUST AT ALL ANYMORE.
