Legalise Cannabis Australia’s Bernie Bradley is competing against Pauline Hanson for the final Senate spot
“We ran one radio ad on the Wednesday before the blackout on an Ipswich FM station and we printed seven shirts,” Bradley says. “The rest was just corflutes and how-to-vote cards and a guy driving around with a box trailer.”
He remains unlikely to pip Hanson. However, regardless of the final outcome, which may not be known for weeks, Bradley is already claiming a moral victory: a small party with a “good platform” outperforming a political advertising “machine” in the United Australia party.Photograph: Paul Hilton/The Guardian
