I got
Greens 49%
Labor 36%
Coalition 9%
Donkey 5%

but after reading this article I'm no longer sure if the Greens are a good thing...

It told me to donkey vote (31%). Sounds about right

[slothpomba]

33% Labour
24% Greens
22% Donkey
19% Coalition

It's the way some of the questions are worded that got me those answers probably and there are some things that just don't bother me like child care or the baby bonus which (hopefully) wont affect me for a number of years.

Don't really like any of the major parties... either way with our voting system your votes end up with labour or liberal anyway... coup d'etat anyone?

I'm probably voting greens just as a protest vote.

its not really a protest vote... its more like a vote for labor

[TrueLight]

hm i got donkey vote lol

[m@tty]

40% Labor
34% Coalition
24% Greens
0% Donkey

My seat's already a safe labor one anyway...

52% Greens
26% Labor
11% Donkey
8% Coalition

Some of the questions were a bit dodgy though...

I recently came across the Australian Secular party... so far that and the sex party are getting my votes.

31%  LABOR
18%  DONKEY
9%    COALITION

I don't get why people say that. In the House of Reps voting is preferential, if the greens don't win you could easily put the liberal party as your second preference and they'd get the vote. And for the senate, you just vote under the line. It only goes to labour if you actually want it to!

I'm not sure about the link nina posted. I know the Greens have some problems but so does every party. Realistically, we're not voting for the Greens to be government anyway, so it's all moot. Furthermore, they probably look a bit rough around the edges because I assume that they can't afford as many advisers as the two major parties.

Anyway:
Greens: 43%
Labor: 29%
Donkey: 17%
Coalition: 9%

[Gloamglozer]

37% Labour
33% Greens
20% Coalition
7% Donkey

I dunno if I agree with those stats though.  Looking at other people's stats, could this test be biased towards Labour and Greens?

i say it because of this

http://ldp.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1240:labor-being-wagged-by-green-tail&catid=135:current-press-releases&Itemid=279
"...the Greens allocated preferences to Labor immediately the election was called, instead of holding the usual Liberal – Labor auction first."

and this
http://ldp.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1235:greens-prefer-power-to-principles&catid=135:current-press-releases&Itemid=279
“The Greens claim they’re offering a third choice, and market themselves as community based activists. They claim to be fighting for civil liberties and against the Labor government’s internet filter. And yet what do we find? They are directing their preferences straight to the Labor party. Not content with pre-selecting Clive Hamilton, original proponent of the filter, as a candidate for the seat of Higgins, they have decided to make sure the policy stays alive by preferencing straight to Labor's Senator Steven Conroy, chief architect of the scheme” Mr Whelan said."

Labour 33%
Liberal 32%

Dissappointed that my greens vote was so high, I hate them.

but after reading this article I'm no longer sure if the Greens are a good thing...

I'm pretty 'meh' when it comes to a lot of those family-type questions...
