“The Labor and Liberal parties are desperate to stop voters from going to
the Greens,” said Greens candidate for Rockdale Lauren Moore.
“The Greens in St George have decided not to preference either of the
two major parties in all three local electorates.
In NSW state elections, no party can actually "direct" preferences at all.
Parties can make recommendations to voters on the how-to-vote
information distributes on election day. Voters can follow that information,
or vote differently if they wish.
“Local communities and local councils have been cut out of the decisionmaking
process and the state’s electricity infrastructure has been sold for
a song. The Greens will work with the parliament to overturn both terrible
decisions,” said Greens Candidate for Kogarah Simone Francis
“The Greens are working to elect Greens to both houses of parliament
with a full range of environmentally and socially responsible policies. We
refuse to allow this toxic state Labor government to drag us down with
them,” said Anne Wagstaff, Greens candidate for Oatley.
The Greens NSW state headquarters has also said it will not direct
preferences to Labor or the Coalition.
“Labor's Upper House ticket includes Eric Roozendaal at number one, and
Tony Kelly as number two. These are two of the most unpopular Ministers
in the current government- overseeing the privatisation of NSW
electricity, and the approval of scores of bad developments under Frank
Sartor’s part 3A planning legislation.
“The Labor party is running a scare campaign. Suggesting that the
Greens’ decision not to preference Labor will deliver an extremely
conservative upper house, is a big fat furphy. Since the optionalpreferential
voting system was introduced, preferences have made no
difference whatsoever to the upper house. For better or worse, NSW will
get who they vote for”, said Lauren Moore
