Brisbane '25

Brisbane is a very tightly contested seat!

Australia's preferential voting system means you number all boxes in order of your preference, with "1" being your top choice, and then continuing in order until all candidates are numbered.

Each list below shows an example how-to-vote preference order that maximises the chance of that specific party winning.

If you want The Greens to win Brisbane:

1. Greens – Stephen Bates (incumbent)
   
   

2. Labor – Madonna Jarrett
   
   

3. Fusion – Rachael Blackwood
   
   

4. People First – Joseph Wheeler
   
   

5. Family First – Kirsten Sands
   
   

6. Trumpet of Patriots – Brian William Thiele
   
   

7. One Nation – Cheryl Wood
   
   

8. LNP – Trevor Evans
   
   

Why? Greens voters typically preference Labor second, as their policies align more closely. Placing conservative and right-wing parties lower reduces the chance of their preferences affecting the outcome.​

If you want Labor (ALP) to win Brisbane:

1. Labor – Madonna Jarrett
   
   

2. Greens – Stephen Bates
   
   

3. Fusion – Rachael Blackwood
   
   

4. People First – Joseph Wheeler
   
   

5. Family First – Kirsten Sands
   
   

6. Trumpet of Patriots – Brian William Thiele
   
   

7. One Nation – Cheryl Wood
   
   

8. LNP – Trevor Evans
   
   

Why? Labor benefits from Greens preferences, so placing them second is strategic. Conservative parties are placed lower to minimise their impact.​

If you want Liberal National Party (LNP) to win Brisbane:

1. LNP – Trevor Evans
   
   

2. One Nation – Cheryl Wood
   
   

3. Family First – Kirsten Sands
   
   

4. Trumpet of Patriots – Brian William Thiele
   
   

5. People First – Joseph Wheeler
   
   

6. Fusion – Rachael Blackwood
   
   

7. Labor – Madonna Jarrett
   
   

8. Greens – Stephen Bates
   
   

Why? LNP supporters often preference other conservative parties higher. Placing Labor and Greens last reduces their chances of overtaking the LNP through preferences.​

If you want One Nation to win Brisbane:

1. One Nation – Cheryl Wood
   
   

2. Family First – Kirsten Sands
   
   

3. LNP – Trevor Evans
   
   

4. Trumpet of Patriots – Brian William Thiele
   
   

5. People First – Joseph Wheeler
   
   

6. Fusion – Rachael Blackwood
   
   

7. Labor – Madonna Jarrett
   
   

8. Greens – Stephen Bates
   
   

Why? One Nation voters typically align with other right-wing parties. Placing them higher increases the chance of preferences flowing to One Nation.​

If you want Family First to win Brisbane:

1. Family First – Kirsten Sands
   
   

2. One Nation – Cheryl Wood

6. Fusion – Rachael Blackwood
   
   

7. Labor – Madonna Jarrett
   
   

8. Greens – Stephen Bates
   
   

Why? Family First preferences often align with other conservative parties. Ranking them higher supports this strategy.​

If you want Trumpet of Patriots to win Brisbane:

3. Family First – Kirsten Sands
   
   

4. LNP – Trevor Evans
   
   

5. People First – Joseph Wheeler
   
   

6. Fusion – Rachael Blackwood
   
   

7. Labor – Madonna Jarrett
   
   

8. Greens – Stephen Bates
   
   

Why? This order supports a right-wing preference flow, which is strategic for Trumpet of Patriots.​

6. Trumpet of Patriots – Brian William Thiele
   
   

7. One Nation – Cheryl Wood
   
   

8. LNP – Trevor Evans
   
   

Why? People First may appeal to centrist or progressive voters. Placing similar parties higher can help consolidate preferences.​

If you want Fusion Party to win Brisbane:

1. Fusion – Rachael Blackwood

6. Trumpet of Patriots – Brian William Thiele
   
   

7. One Nation – Cheryl Wood
   
   

8. LNP – Trevor Evans
