Election of micro parties on preferences renews calls to change Victoria's 'broken' upper-house voting system

Micro party MPs with less than 3 per cent of the primary vote have once again been elected to Victoria's upper house, prompting renewed calls for the unique group voting system to be scrapped.

Newly elected Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell has taken the mantle as the MP elected with the lowest primary vote, winning just 1.5 per cent in the Northern Victorian Region.
