| Description | The Liberal Party has struck a deal to exchange preferences with Clive Palmer.
The deal will see the Liberals place the United Australia Party second, or above Labor, on its how-to-vote cards in Lower and Upper House seats.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has repeatedly said deciding preferences is an issue for the party organisation to deal with.
That is despite the fact he directed his party to preference Pauline Hanson's One Nation below Labor in the wake of revelations the minor party had solicited donations from the National Rifle Association in the US.
Political strategists have spent the past 48 hours locking in crucial preference deals ahead of pre-polling, which opens on Monday.
Mr Palmer is attempting a return to politics, throwing himself into the running for a seat in the Senate. |
