Local crews encouraged but the rules of "no rules" isn't really working well
- so the NC will be implementing a framework for crews to follow
- this should hopefully help make things less confusing and get more crews up and running
- those with any input please contact the NC with ideas via email [email protected]

A potential oddity in the vote results
eg NSW:
- David Campbell: Y:74 N:9 [89.16%]
- Brendan Molloy: Y:69 N:14 [83.13%]
but only half actually voted
- Brendan Molloy: 37
- David Campbell: 27
Similar issues for other states
Issues is most likely that: people voted in the approval voting but not the ranked voting to mean "I approve of these candidates, but I don't care about order"
Ranking is optional, some people don't care to rank.
From Bendan:
- of the voting, only a couple were technically donkeys, and two were invalid
- randomisation of candidate order is used to stop donkey voting.
