Wikileaks Party scrambles to explain election decisions

[FarCenter]

The Wikileaks Party, established to give Julian AssangeTM a seat in Australia's Senate, has found itself scrambling to explain why it seems to endorse far-right-wing parties ahead of the Australian political mainstream in New South Wales, and is punishing The Greens in Western Australia.

The row emerged after the Australian Electoral Commission published declarations filed by political contenders for senate seats, in which they identify how they will distribute preferences for “above-the-line” senate votes.

Anomalies identified in the Wikileaks ticket included:

• In NSW, the extreme-right Australia First Party would receive preference votes ahead of any mainstream party. Other NSW far-right parties receiving Wikileaks Party preferences ahead of the mainstream include gun-advocates Shooters and Fishers and Australian Voice.

• In Western Australia, agrarian conservatives The Nationals would receive preference votes ahead of The Greens.

1. Amateurs.

'Hacking their way to freedom' didn't work out so they try to 'grow up' by thinking they know politics.

They don't.
