That depends on who is running in your electorate.

The Greens clearly are anti 4wd 

The Labor party has been very happy to do deals with the Greens in the past, hence the carbon tax (Abbott & Liberals got rid of that)

Roothy is standing for the Liberal democratic party, the shooters and fishers party are another one that you could consider.

However depending on your electorate there may not be a great choice.

Hey Kev, with the house of reps, they are the ones standing in your area, so you are limited by who is running for a seat in your electorate.

http://www.aec.gov.au/Voting/How_to_vote/

The senate is a group of contenders from around vic that everyone has to vote for, (that's the big white paper)

That form has the shooters, fishers and farmers parties, they are the most pro 4wd group.

Have a look here for someone elses take on the people running. (his opinion is very left wing, and in some places very wrong, but gives you a rough idea who is who)

BTW if you let them know you will be away (4wding) or more than 8km from a polling place, on election day you can vote early to avoid the ques.

http://www.aec.gov.au/index.htm enter your postcode and it will display a close by early voting centre.

Bump.... Don't waste your vote. If you want someone in the senate to represent your needs vote shooters fishers farmers 1st in the senate (big white paper)

The small green sheet, voting will depend on electorate, but make sure you vote greens LAST if you want to protect our freedom.

Sheesh, that mediscare campaign was more effective than anyone thought!!!

Impersonating medicare and sending texts out to voters telling them lies is surely fraud?

Seems like shorton should be behind bars.

Telling porkies and fraud are two very different things.

Yeah, even the greens don't stoop that low.

If you have alternative policies, such as spending more on health, defence, apprenticeship schemes, ets etc then run on that.

Running a campaign based completely on lies is really dirty and un -Australian, dirty bastard.......
