For the federal senate there are often dozens of parties running, often over a hundred candidates in total, and usually half of them are borderline Nazis, but they don't cooperate with each other and their voters do the bare minimum to fill out the ballot, so none of the nuts get elected.It is possible to waste a vote, you can pick your favourite and a second choice and third, etc. but if NONE of the candidates you pick have a chance then the vote does get wasted. I number every party that I hate less than the Liberals, then just ignore all the squabbling Nazis.It sounds complex but if you just vote for what you actually want and at least one of the popular parties then Australian <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PreferentialVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PreferentialVoting</a> is designed very well to reflect what you wanted.
