    It already has a few times… The rest of parliament has had to negotiate with small parties many times.

    But it does also allow a transition to other parties. The US system does NOT. Also, I think your first preference gets the funding in our case. So, if nobody votes for the primary party as first preference they benefit less financially I think

        Public funding is public money we provide to eligible political parties and independent candidates.

        The amount you can receive is based on:

        the amount listed in your audited statement of expenditure for the previous election
        the number of votes your candidates received
        the maximum legislated amounts.
        

        You can also choose to receive advance public funding for the 2022 election. The amount you can receive in advance is calculated for each eligible candidate. It is also based on:

        the number of first preference votes the candidate received at the 2018 State election
        if they stood for the Legislative Assembly (lower house) or Legislative Council (upper house).
