EVEN the Greens who gained 10% of the South Australian state election primary vote were ripped off: they got zero seats.
A fair-minded person would probably say they deserved one seat, maybe two. But welcome to the rigged reality of Australia’s preferential voting system, with South Australia’s Labor Party sweeping up 72% of the seats in the Lower House from 37.6% of the vote.
The Independents got 4.8% of the vote (47,025) to win four seats, as did One Nation who picked up 22.5% of the vote (220,626). One Nation has seven seats in total in the SA Parliament including three in the Upper House.
The overall picture is of a skewed electoral system where the party in power rigs the electoral boundaries to best fit the inner city areas and outer suburbs where, as in the case of SA, the Labor tradition runs strong.
The situation in the Federal Parliament is even worse, with Labor winning just over a third of the primary vote to gain about 90% of the seats in the House of Representatives.
Cairns News’ recent story on this situation created a firestorm on X, with the ABC’s now retired election analyst Anthony Green defending the system “because it’s been like this for 108 years” and “if you’re complaining about the fact that Labor gained far more seats than justified based on its primary vote, then you should be arguing for proportional representation”.
If proportional representation is what it takes to give Australians a more representative parliamentary system in Lower Houses, then so be it. New Zealand has such a system, which gives medium to small parties a chance to at least have some seats in the parliament.
State Upper Houses, also known as Legislative Councils, and the federal Senate, do have proportional representation, which is why you see minor parties occupying seats.
In the case of South Australia, Labor with its 36.9% of the primary vote gained only 4.4 quotas or four of the 11 contested seats. One Nation with 24.5% of the vote won 2.9 quotas or three seats. The Liberals on 17.7% of the vote lost two of their eight seats and the Greens won one seat to give them two in total.
With the support of the Greens, Labor will retain control the SA Legislative Council, unless the one seat still in doubt goes to a conservative leaning candidate, which would tie the chamber 11-11.
New Zealand is currently governed by a coalition of three parties – the Nationals (the main party similar to our Liberals) plus the conservative New Zealand First and the libertarian ACT Party. These three represent a broad spectrum of voters from small L liberal to hard-line nationalist-populist.
A number of commenters complain bitterly about Sir Rope’s analysis, this is because typical Australians like a no-fuss democracy, unfortunately the red-blue coalition takes advantage of that and treats them like sheep. It reminds me of the assassination victim Aaron Russo who said “Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting who’s for dinner … … you need RIGHTS” [ not “freedoms”, RIGHTS ]
And the Lib/One Nation crew and the rest of the parliament think it’s all kosher and above board.?

Nothing to see or change there, right? Otherwise somebody would be screaming injustice and change for our ‘representative’ democracies!
It doesn’t matter who you vote for it only matters who distributes the votes.
Will this result wake the Greens that they cease preferencing Labor ?
Hahhaha are you upset goy? Well you deserve it as you voted in a false election.
Every time I see Elbow start talking on TV, I switch channel so I missed his speech yesterday but I saw some reviews, they were bad. That doesn’t stop the fake news ABC-TV from trying to roll him in glitter. I am wearing out the buttons on my remote from all the triggers, like Cadbury’s ads which have been on high rotation for about 2 years. Their sugary mud can hardly be called chocolate. The other ads are almost all terrible. With al the AI around now, where are the good ads. Did all the ad agencies become real estate agents by now. Why couldn’t Elbow get the AI to write him a better speech. It’s all such rubbish, how to draw salaries from such rubbish, I have to watch the phone while I’m watching TV because the TV is such rubbish. The politicians are rubbish. Why don’t they put some good ones on, instead they try to push the horrible Teals Party with their populist progressivism, or progressive populism. They are too dumb to work out CO2 is plant food. ABC-TV the same. Too dumb for words. They are trying to create a moron farm and don’t care if they self-destruct in doing so.
Well folks,
Same old same old, nothing new here because it’s been going on for DECADES, for the best part of a CENTURY if not longer here in Australia.
The place is run by GANGSTERS, folks, just accept the fact and deal with it. If you really want to fix the system, to renovate the place into something closer to what the PEOPLE want, then understand that we have to clean out the GANGSTERS who OWN the joint.
If that all seems somewhat obtuse, just a little too obscure to comprehend, then maybe just picture how Chicago FINALLY got rid of Al Capone and his syndicated mobsters. Because to repeat a broken record one more time, NOTHING but NOTHING is going to change for the better until Mr. Rope and Mr. Lamp Post ride into town, and that’s just not gonna happen until enough Useless Eaters wake up from their slumber and figure out what’s what, it’s not going to happen until a critical threshold number of survivors have got NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
Which means way more roadkill yet to come, folks. Hate to say it, sorry to say, but that’s just the way it is. Just take a look around, at how things are unfolding right now, across ALL FRONTS, in systematic LOCKSTEP all across the Western world, according to a PLAN which has all of US slated for EXTINCTION. Maybe take some time to hear Martin Armstrong’s clinical assessment from the vantage of his Economic Confidence Model, an analytic system used by his AI program Socrates to accomplish 50 years of 100% successful forecasts…

You might notice Mr. Armstrong’s repeated use of the term “Treason” in his commentary, because that’s EXACTLY what we’re dealing with right here in Australia. Why do you suppose King Bonza the Charismatic REMOVED the DEATH PENALTY for Treason, folks, and the very idea of Treason has been watered down and absolved from Australian fake corporate “law” by EVERY successive fake foreign-owned CORPORATE “government” for DECADES now? Because they KNOW precisely what they are doing, it is absolutely INTENTIONAL, and these mongrel arsehole bastards DON’T WANT TO HANG for their knowing and willing TREASON against Australia and its people.
They don’t work for us and they don’t answer to us, folks, we’re ruled against our will and without our consent by a pack of Treasonous foreign-owned Satanic baby-eating GANGSTERS, have been for generations now. If we want to purge the place of this anti-Human anti-Australian Luciferian infestation, then we’ll be needing a visit by the pest controllers, Mr. Rope and Mr.Lamp Post.
But don’t be holding your breath, that Satanic Vampire Trojan Super Trump aka Peace President Ginger Nuts ain’t coming to save us, and neither are the Legendary White Hats riding their majestic Unicorns. Another five or six years of rolling steaming genocidal Globalist murder & mayhem is coming before the Fat Lady finally sings and the Piper sharpens his pencil.
Well if the scandemic was approved and implemented by our military intelligence, ASIO and the AFP what chance has fair elections got…
That rope that has been glorified here is only good for fuel in the fireplace… It might keep you warm for half an hour… Or maybe you could knit a blanket with it coz the only rope that gets used that I can see belongs to big brother.
I often wonder why the Federal Police never investigate the AEC for electoral rorting ,but then I wonder why the AFP never investigate their own entrenched corruption that we get to hear about from the ABC .
So where is Pauline in challenging the rort? Ian “Slug Gate” Cook told me that that his request for a recount when he went up against Daniel Andrews in the last VIC state elections was denied using federal, not state, legislation. He also said that whilst speaking to someone from the electoral commission he was tols, basically, he said, to “get stuffed, we’ll do whatever we want.”
Integrity plus!!!
Still haven’t figured out you’re being snowed like a cretinous fool? Try this…
–
The fewer the votes you have the more seats you get? Sounds great, eh! Imagine if NO ONE voted and the winning Uniparty won 100% of the seats with 0% votes!

Would that wake youse up and distract you from the footy or the cricket, Joe Blows?
LOOKS LIKE AUSSIES LIKE TO BE PUNISHED AND THE WHIP IS ABOUT TO BE INTRODUCED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL GET YOUR DOSE OF CONTROL AND CONFORMITY, DARK DAYS AHEAD AS THE CONTINUATION OF DESTROYING THE ONCE GREAT COUNTRY LIES AHEAD.

Yeah, well, to the people whom cannot see now that democracy does not exist, and that you’re nothing but a slave to a group of psychopathic totalitarian freaks …… thanks for fucking this country into oblivion you weak and fearful loser.
When the ALP takes Australia full communist your other parties won’t even get one seat
Corruption the new norm they don’t even try to hide it
Disappointing yet again.. why only two comments readable although Cairnsnews states there are four available.
So in the recent “election” in victoriastan, either Victorians are the stupidest people who breathe and masochistic to man, or, the voting outcome was…er…irregular.
Weird thing is, no electronic voting machines, so ……
Yep.
Voting Fraud has to be fixed World-wide. It has been going on for so long in Australia, it is NORMALISED.
Australia has never been a classless society.
A public Constitutional Convention would be a step in the right direction to clean up the MESS caused by the Australia Act 1986. Our original Commonwealth of Australia Constitution is no longer the peek Legal Document, so why do the Judiciary, the Legislative and the Executive arms of Government continue to act unlawfully? When did Bob Hawke become the Queen of Australia?
