Ever stared at a ballot paper and thought, how the hell does this work?
You’re not alone.
In this episode of The West Report Live, we’re joined by David Cox from Auspol Explained to break down how Australia’s preferential voting system really works, why how-to-vote cards aren’t as powerful as you think, and how a candidate with fewer first votes can still win an election.
We also dive into some real-world examples including Clive Palmer’s bizarre 2013 win and what it means for your vote in 2025.
🔹 Hosted by Steph Preston
🔹 Featuring Michael West, Leo Puglisi (@6NewsAU and David Cox (@AuspolExplained )
