As a Building Designer, Draftsman and Thermal Performance Assessor, I'm dissapointed that this party which purports to be representative of my industry is merely a vote harvesting exercise for the extreme right-wing religious nutters of DLP, LDP and Family First. How pathetic.
The idea of preferences is to soak up as many of the smaller parties preferences as you can before going to the majors.
This way and maybe a big if, they go out before you do on primary votes, all their votes go to you. This helps you step up the ladder and become competition to the majors.
It is political suicide to go to the majors first. The choices made are for strategic and pragmatic reasons.
I hope that helps all...
Yes, the DLP's lead candidate is their most preferenced candidate outside their party, but Family First is well down the scale. The LDP isn't a typical "religious" party - it promotes drug, abortion and euthanasia decriminalisation.
The odds are that an above the line Senate vote for Building Australia in Victoria would help an ALP candidate be elected. A centre-left party lead by an athiest.
Everyone voting for a minor party in the Senate should vote below the line.
The Building Australia Party [BAP] represents our industry. The parties’ objectives and policies are clear, concise and have been disclosed in the public arena. In order for BAP to make progress and be influential in government, it must first gain a state or federal seat. I personally don’t care how BAP gets there...the preferencing system is merely a pathway to the intent. Preferencing a party by no means implies that you embrace and support all their respective policies and ideals.
BAP does NOT represent ‘individual’s’ political views and preferences! Do I see some hypocrisy here? Or is it simply a case of incongruity.
I have known Ray Brown for half a lifetime and can earnestly say he is far from simply a vote harvester for extreme right-wing religious nutters. If Anonymous was so concerned about his/her profession he/she would refrain from worrying about political tiering [this only occurs during elections] . One’s passion for our industry would be better served by educating oneself about the positive contributions Ray Brown has made to our industry and profession in the past...and support him to continue to do so, well into the future.
