The Jacqui Lambie Network will preference Labor above the Liberals in the critical Tasmanian seats of Braddon and Lyons, but will put the Liberal Bridget Archer above Labor’s Ross Hart in the ultra-marginal seat of Bass.

Having secured preferences in two lower house seats, Labor will preference Lambie’s Senate candidate Tammy Tyrrell above other parties and independents, which boosts her chances of grabbing the final Tasmanian Senate spot.
