[QUOTE="lmnop9876, post: 39753661, member: 122788"] [FONT=Arial] in the House, and with "below the line" Senate voting, the preferences are distributed however the person voting sees fit to distribute them. with "above the line" Senate voting, votes are distributed as the candidate/party have previously determined, and the person just marks a single vote for the candidate they wish to vote for. [/FONT][FONT=Arial][/FONT] [FONT=Arial]for me, participating in the political process of this country is recognising that Aboriginal people have lost their right to sovereignty. I do not believe this to be the case, and I do believe that the whole Australian constitution and system of Government as it now stands is built on a lie, a lie that the courts established by said constitution have already shown to not apply, namely terra nullius. therefore, I refuse to participate (as the UN has recognised as my Indigenous right) in the political processes of a system that I believe is invalid and illegal.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
