Why the fuck are social democrats and social liberals preferencing neo-Nazis over the left-libertarian Greens in Australia's Senate election?
If you're not straight, not Christian, or not White and you live in Australia, you'd better be on high alert, as the far-right Family First (For those, like myself, who are more well-versed in North American than Australia, think of a party where everybody is more right-wing and more theocracy-minded than Jerry Falwell, and you'll understand just how bad this situation could be.) may be holding the balance of power in the Senate, thanks to the actions of a far-right cabal that has taken over the Aussie Democrats (social liberal party) and Labour (social democratic on paper, centrist in policy) in some states, getting the parties to preference fascist Family First over the left-libertarian Greens, a traditional ally of the two parties.
I hope Mr. Latham is happy that he may have turned Australia into a giant concentration camp for thousands of people.

These people (if they are indeed worthy of being afforded the dignity of humanity) make Austria's Joerg Haider look like an anarcho-socialist.
And apparently, the higher-ups in Labour (part of a fascist infiltration of the party) seem to think it'll be easier to work with the neo-Nazis than with the Greens.

Apparently Family First is almost guaranteed one seat and has an outside chance of picking up as many as two more:

True believers: Pray for an absolutely majority for the centre-right Coalition in the Senate or (preferrably) for the Greens, Democrats, and Labour to somehow cobble together enough seats to run it, even if whoever's responsible for this fascist take over of Labour deserves the fucking guillotine.
(P.S. The Coalition, as an ally of the Twin Evils of American and Chinese Imperialism, is no better.)
