Exersizing My Citizenship Rights

Am currently arranging my Senate preferences as Below The Line, which means I'm reading a lot of minor party policies.
To note: the "Australian Independents" are not independents, they're a party.
Observation: if the front page of a party's site features an old man in a suit, they usually have policies I disagree with.
The "Animal Justice Party" policies are only about the treatment of animals; not a single word about the treatment of human beings.
Amusing thought: if, in a parallel universe, ALL the minor parties got elected:
The "Shooters and Fishers" would form a coalition with "The Australian Fishing and Lifestyle Party", the "Country Alliance" party and the "Stop the Greens" party.
The "Help End Marijuana Prohibition (HEMP)" party would form a coalition with the "Drug Law Reform" party.
The "Secular Party of Australia" vote against everything proposed by the "Australian Christians" party, whether or not it made sense. And vice versa.
Joseph Toscano would turn his back on everybody and refuse to participate.
The "Citizens Electoral Council" would be frothing at the mouth in a corner.
