Margo Kingston (@margokingston1<\/a>) checks in with Anthony Pesec (@anthonypesec<\/a>) \u2014 Independent candidate for the second ACT senate seat \u2014 as federal election day looms. They discuss the importance and value of strategically voting in order to defeat hard-right Liberal, Zed Seselja<\/a>, who hasn’t attended a single meet-the-candidates forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zed Seselja is widely known for going against the will of the electorate on the marriage equality plebiscite despite promising beforehand to honour the outcomes of the vote.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margo discusses the situation in Canberra, where there are seven groups on the Senate ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are the Liberal, Labor, the Greens and myself, and then after that they have the United party, which is I think if there is one place in Australia where they’re not really going to do well it will be here<\/em>. Fraser Anning has put together a nationwide party, and I’ll be surprised if he gets 19 votes here in Canberra<\/em>; and then there’s Sustainable Australia \u2013 who don’t really have much of a profile here in Canberra.<\/em> There are three unendorsed senate candidates here in Canberra, which, being below the line and running with a very low budget, they might get fractions of a per cent each.<\/p>Anthony Pesec<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I think its been quite encouraging for voters to see there are a number of sensible people willing to put their hand up, people from various careers and walks of life coming with a lot of experience, willing to contribute to public service with what they know and their experiences.<\/p>Anthony Pesec<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It’s not like Bill Shorten’s leading the party the right way, it’s that the Liberal Party have completely self-destructed. <\/p>Anthony Pesec<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
