The Juice Media are forever questionable to me for recommending the teals as a blanket "not shit candidates", despite some of them, not unsurprisingly, being against workers rights.

I can't seem to make it past select electorate page. Nothing is selectable.

Really? My leftie friend got recommended Trumpet of Patriots. I can't be bothered trying it myself.
So I suspect it is a site owned by Palmer which recommends him randomly for users (randomly to evade easy replication to prove it).
Interesting, which electorate? I redid the survey and got the same results (could be consistent with IP).
It's possible to match with Palmer just because he's throwing out a bunch of policies that might sound good but have no logical consistency or anything backing it. Probably the survey should account for that if it isn't already.
In any case, you can select your own preferences and build your own paper, which is the main reason I posted it. Ideally it would let you skip the survey process too, particularly since it requires an email at the end (I used a throwaway).
My friend repeated the process and this time got a sensible result (ToP were suggested last).
He confesses that what may have happened the first time is that, because ToP have scored the top position on the lower house ballot in his electorate, he might have kneejerk reacted to the order of appearance rather than suggested numbering.
which electorate?
Parramatta
Hmmm. Whois says a climate activist has registered the domain. Doesn't add up. Still leaving my comment in case others experience similar.
Honestly I didn't know that the UK and Canada were first-past-the-post for the lower houses lol
We're quite jealous of your voting system here in upside-down Australia. We just had another "vote strategic" moment that resulted in all of the minor parties losing influence just to keep the conservatives out of power. Trudeau's biggest lasting failure will be his inability to actually pass vote reform like he promised, and FPTP will eventually result in us graduating from US-light to full on US-two-party-ism.
