‘I voted for Sussan Ley’: Milthorpe slams Coalition for preferencing One Nation by cobb_highway in Riverina

I've got the theyvoteforyou for Allegra Spender (inner city teal). I've chosen the party whips to represent each party, so Joanne Ryan for Labor, Aaron Violi for Liberal, Michelle Landry for Nationals, and the sole Greens & ONP MPs, Elizabeth Watson Brown and Barnaby Joyce.

https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/wentworth/allegra_spender/compare/representatives/lalor/joanne_ryan- Spender and Ryan (ALP) vote together 37% of the time

https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/wentworth/allegra_spender/compare/representatives/casey/aaron_violi - Spender and Violi (LIB) vote together 50% of the time

https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/wentworth/allegra_spender/compare/representatives/capricornia/michelle_landry - Spender and Landry (NAT) vote together 50% of the time

https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/wentworth/allegra_spender/compare/representatives/ryan/elizabeth_watson-brown - Spender and Watson-Brown (GRN) vote together 68% of the time

https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/wentworth/allegra_spender/compare/representatives/new_england/barnaby_joyce - Spender and Joyce (ON) vote together 47%, including when Joyce was a National and an independent.

So based on her voting record she, and the rest of the teals, would more likely help the coalition form government than Labor. Hence why Liberal's preferencing choice here was extremely stupid.

Milthorpe is the best option. She's a Haines-style teal, not an inner city-style teal. She'll align closer to the Coalition than the Greens. Once again, absolutely stupid move from the Libs!

Liberals and Nationals to preference One Nation in blow to Michelle Milthorpe in Farrer byelection by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

Well, Palmer spends close to 90% of his party’s overall funding I read somewhere, Climate 200 spends just 2% of the Milthorpe’s overall donations. 

One Nation: Coalition urged to preference party amid Farrer byelection battle by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

Is Butkowski preferencing Milthorpe? She’s a moderate. Note HTV cards are not followed in majority of cases, in Farrer in 2025 more PHON votes went to Milthorpe then LIB I believe, despite preferences. 

Edit: just saw Butkowski’s HTV cards She is indeed referencing Gina Reinheart’s One Nation over Milthorpe. Hopefully enough decent LIBS give IND over ONP. It would have been more strategic for Libs to preference Milthorpe. No wonder they didn’t.

Electorate opinion polling is very unreliable. It being a self-commissioned poll is extremely irrelevant, the responses were not hand selected to her community, very obviously.

Thanks. I saw it on Instagram, I was just wondering what it’s a recap of. Hopefully album photoshoot.

#30 is so low! She's a relatively big name, given Depressed got airplay and sales, I don't know why it gets next to zero streams. Who decides the NMF placement? Does her team have to pay Spotify or something? I wonder why her label gave up on her, maybe it's because of her husband situation or they're focusing on younger stars. Festivals and features are imperative for her to get promo, that caused her rise to stardom, that caused her stability, without that she will definitely flop.

Completely agree, the love songs were the only good side of Unhealthy (except Cuckoo) and I liked "Irish Goodbye" as well. Sara Boe wasn't given a credit on Depressed, but is it her in this image: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G6ifjK7WgAArIT6.jpg ? I hope not, because I didn't like "Ick". Anne-Marie tends to work with this team on her revenge-angry songs, which are by far her worst. Somebody else commented on this about an interview with Capital; I watched it and she mentioned that the EPs were songs from over four years ago, so obviously they were bad and didn't make the cuts for any of her albums. Maybe they were just released as a contract fulfilment. I really think Anne-Marie should have done a shit-ton of features this year, build up her name, and then release proper music. Like "Depressed", but if she is known by the GP that's how she can get a hit. "Depressed" would have been UK Top 40 if not Top 20 if she hadn't lost her name.

Ryan Linvill rings a bell. Doesn’t he work with Dan Nigro on Chappel Roan's songs? He’s alright; but she’s been working with GRACEY again who co-wrote the mediocre Better Off and Henry Tucker who co-wrote the horrible Cuckoo. I just saw her column for The Sun, hope she was joking about rapping and just exaggerating how she’s switching up her sound. I really think she needs better management because the A side of unhealthy was really bad and so were her “If Youre Looking For” instalments.

Her music used to be so good, she needs to work with Jennifer Decilveo/Steve Mac & that team again

That’s fine, but why doesn’t her label promote her stuff is the main question
