Paul Fletcher re teals: "If Australia had a first-past-the-post system, none of the six teals who entered the parliament in 2022 would have been elected"
Overconfident clueless claim. If we had FPTP, voters would have voted differently and some teals would probably have won.

The coalitions entire existence is dependant on our preferential voting system combined with the Westminster system that allows them to form a minority coalition

3 of the 6 were within 5% on primaries, a 4th within 6%. Only Chaney and Tink came from way back.
Preferential voting gives a much fairer result
Times change 😀 #auspol #BradfieldVotes
