I've still got some reading to do before I can finalise the twenty odd parties for the senate. I'd have to refresh the house, but I think I'm roughly sorted on the seven Melbourne choices.
I'd encourage you to check out the LDP - they're great on social issues (gay marriage, drug legalisation, zero religious interferance) and also great on the economics. They're most of the reasons young people vote for the Greens, but without being economically illiterate. http://www.ldp.org.au/
Yeah, I thought the LDP was okay, but I didn't get super enthused about them. Not as much as the aussie democrats. I had a rough order after going through all the policies I could find (why be an independent and make it hard for people who are making an effort to find out anything about why you're running???) and was planning on voting below the line, but before I started putting numbers to a page I looked over the sex party preferences and that was pretty much what I was going to end up with, including conroy last (out of labor).
And it turned out my electorate didn't have seven house of reps as I was thinking, they actually had four.
Oh wait, I should have responded to this before Sunday
