I thought you were more intelligent than that eagle'!
Surely you can comprehend SHY was first on the Greens ticket while Simon Birmingham was first on the Coalition ticket.
You do know the 'above the line vote' provides a first preference vote to the first candidate listed on that party's ticket?
Are you aware also that SHY only got about 0.7% of a quota in her first preferences [actually in all the Green's candidates 1st prefs] in that DD election where 12 senators are elected and the quota was 7.7% of the SA senate vote?
If I was you I wouldn't be in a hurry to brag about SHY's voting prowess ahead of Cory Bernardi's.
Bernardi was elected well ahead of SHY and he will serve a 6 yr term until 2022 whereas SHY as the eleventh senator elected in SA will be retiring next June and front the voters next year.
