Fact-checking AAP’s “gotcha” on Abbott

Paul Osborne, AAP Senior Political Writer:

THE Liberal party has failed to live up to its promise to put the Australian Greens last on all how-to-vote cards. Opposition Leader Tony Abbott promised to ensure the Greens would receive no preferences from the coalition at the federal election and challenged Labor to do the same.

But the Australian Electoral Commission website shows many coalition group voting tickets for the Senate ...do not put the Greens last.

What Abbott actually said:


I have directed the Liberal Party to preference the Greens below Labor in all 150 House of Representatives seats.
