If one political party gets more primary votes and more voters second preferences etc and the total is more than 50% it means that over 50% of voters preferred Labor to candidates from the other parties. So under our voting system over 50% of voters preferred Labor to the runner ups, the Coalition. Thats the facts and thats the system so no point in explaining the obvious about primary votes.
Just a reminder too, the most recent poll (Morgan) gave Labor 47% in primary votes to the Coalitions 37%. When taking account voters second preferences 57.5% chose Labor compared to Coalitions 42.5%.
cheers
