It is not where the vote preference will end up, it is the ethics of signalling that you may support an issue that is both stupid and dangerous.
I just heard Richard Di Natale squirming on national radio over the decision of the Greens in Richmond to inappropriately preference the barking anti-vaxxers.
The ALP does this sort of thing routinely to help their slower supporters with numbers, the coalition out of venal desperation – and hang the consequences.
I strongly suspect Michael Lyon and his ‘advisers’ embarked on this course because there is more than a sprinkling of measles enthusiasts in the Shire, including some in the Greens.
So to keep a few dopey locals on side they have embarrassed the Greens nationally.
