The Liberals will preference Labor in Macnamara and other Greens lower house seats across the country, and rather than preference the Greens and put the Liberals last as they have traditionally done, Labor will not preference the Greens in Macnamara. The deal announced today comes after Peter Dutton repeatedly called on Anthony Albanese not to preference the Greens in Macnamara.
As Labor is likely to come third in Macnamara at the election, Labor voter preferences will decide the seat. Quotes attributable to Greens Leader, Adam Bandt MP: “This Labor-Liberal preference deal has just put Peter Dutton one step closer to the Lodge. “Labor voters will be furious that they are helping Peter Dutton with preferences.
“Anthony Albanese has done what Peter Dutton wants, a dirty preference deal to try and keep the Greens from winning more seats at the election, but it won't work because voters aren’t stupid. “The Greens can still win this seat when Labor voters reject this dirty preference deal with the Liberals. “Only a vote for the Greens is a vote against Peter Dutton.
The only way to keep Dutton out and get Labor to act is to vote Greens.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
