Labor’s How-To-Vote card shows just how hard left-wing Cook’s party is
Voting in the Upper House
VOTING “ABOVE THE LINE” in any election around Australia means you are trusting the party you are giving a “1” to, where your vote should go if they get excluded.
We’re going through the registered How-To-Vote cards – and the news for shooters in WA is that the news about Labor gets worse.
Many of their upper house cards are putting left wing parties high on their list. That isn’t entirely unexpected, but what they’ve done here is gone hard left!
You will see in the example below (which is typical of the cards they’ve registered) that if you follow Labor’s How-To Vote card, your vote could end up going to the Greens and Animal Justice Party.
Hard left-wing Labor means more restrictions
LET’S BE CLEAR about this. The hard left-wing parties Labor wants you to preference want to take all your guns off you!
They will kill off all hunting, pest control, target shooting – all use of guns – leaving you to ponder if you should take up stamp collecting.
They are also preferencing the pot smokers who are ok on guns but if they don’t get up, then the Animal Justice Party will get your vote.
That’s how they got up in Victoria in 2018, on the back of votes for the SFFP.
Don’t risk voting Labor.
How should you vote – lower house?
In the lower house (Assembly), if you live in Albany, we recommend you vote for Thomas Brough (Liberal Party).
If you live in the electorate of Darling Range, vote for Morgan Byas (National Party).
These guys are about as pro-gun as you can get.
In other seats, you might find the Australian Christians. While they may not be your first choice, bear in mind, they’re pretty good on guns & always have been. Plus, in most cases, you will still be able to choose the Nationals and / or Liberals.
No matter where you live, put Labor and then the Greens last.
Avoiding left-wing parties in the upper house
VOTING in the upper house is more complex, as you’ll get the long ballot paper with a lot of different parties to choose from.
Do NOT simply Vote 1 ‘above the line’.
Voting 1 ‘above the line’ is like giving someone who promised to do your shopping your wallet. Add a politician to the mix, and you can see the problem.
In fact if you just “Vote 1”, there’s a good chance your vote will become ‘exhausted’ if you don’t number other boxes.
Instead, take a couple of minutes to vote ‘below the line’. This will enable you to pick out exactly who (ie individuals) you want your vote to go to.
You only need to number 20 boxes to make your vote count.
WE RECOMMEND that you:
- Vote 1– Louise Kingston (you’ll find her in the independent column at “Group M“)
- Vote 2 – Steve Thomas (Liberal Party) and / or Nick Goiran (Liberal Party – “Group C”)
- Vote 3 etc – pro-gun parties, then the Nationals and rest of the Liberals
- Vote last – Labor then the Greens. However remember you can stop at box number 20 if you wish, for your vote to count.
Don’t leave it to the last minute
WHATEVER you do, don’t leave voting to the last minute.
You’ll end up in a queue, be running late to pick up the kids, and end up voting the wrong way out of habit. This is the most important election facing WA shooters, so slow down a bit and don’t rush it.
POSTAL and EARLY VOTING start next 19 and 24 February respectively.
