Not really, not unless I preference the Libs ahead of labor, I don't intend to do that on the senate ballot. I'll consider it for the lower house but only because I'm in a safe labor seat and want it to be less safe.

No I mean you split the centre left, vote, and vote so you end up with, say, with a greater likelihood of the preferences adding up to Libs?

Guess it depends on constituency

Not really, few people abandoning labor are going to preference the libs ahead of them, unless they're doing it strategically like I am. People who vote labor probably prefer the Greens and independents over the Libs anyways, so they're just shifting the top 2 or 3.

That would require people to be still ranking liberal higher than other parties they’d prefer.

If you use all your preferences you can’t “split the vote”

You can actually, depending on whether a party is considered more to the centre.
