All 930 votes have their second preferences distributed, because there's no way to determine which individual ballots are the excess.
The key is that the second preferences are transferred at a reduced rate proportional to the excess. i.e. (excess votes for Liz) divided by (total votes for Liz). In this case 129/930 = 0.13. All second preferences on ballots that first preferences Liz are distributed "worth" 0.13 votes.
Senate guidelines
Consecutive sequence of numbers -- Above the line
For an above the line vote (ATL), voters are instructed to consecutively number at least 6 boxes above the black line, in the order of their preference, commencing with the number ‘1’.
[...]
However, where a voter consecutively numbers fewer than 6 boxes, (including only one box with a first preference) the ballot paper will still be formal, but will exhaust after the last consecutive number.
In other words, if you only numbered 5 boxes above the line it does still count, it just exhausts sooner.
Their practice voting tool has sensibly omitted the finer details, they always encourage people to vote "correctly".
Regardless of you definitely won't make the same mistake next time I'm sure.
Corflutes and HTVs are used widely by all parties, not just the Greens. But the Greens are the target of your critique because someone allegedly hurt your feelings? (Both materials are 100% recyclable, by the way.)
I'm more concerned about the dozens of new coal and gas project approvals under Labor. Billions of tonnes of pollution is a bit more impactful that a few thousand printed pamphlets and signs, that everyone else is doing anyway.
Guarantee your outburst was completely pointless and quickly forgotten.
Just noticed today that La Trobe St outside State Library Station is now clear for eastbound traffic, definitely a sign we're getting much closer to opening the munnel. They've also laid brand new cobblestone in a side street which is pretty cool.
I've been impressed by fastprinting.com.au in the past. Consider ordering a paper sample book first if you want to get a feel for the weight options beforehand.
I also used to go to Minuteman Press (not online) for work related print jobs. The crew at the Southbank location were such legends and total print nerds. Would never sell you a flimsy bit of rag.
The eligibility reasons to postal vote or vote early are not strictly enforced.
You could say you're travelling on May 3rd (even though you don't have firm plans to do so just yet...) you would be far from the only one making the same claim.
I've had to part ways with my legend of a barber-to-the-stars after his (very justified) price increases. I'm not on consultancy salary anymore.
Not every 'do at Just Cuts has been a winner, but each time I end up with something slightly different and it's kinda fun getting a different take on a bog-standard men's haircut. This month's is nicely textured and sits really well on my head straight out of the shower.
Also these eggs from Aldi are so good, what a Reese's peanut butter cup would taste like if it was made with good chocolate and peanut butter.
This is actually super interesting. Consider screenshotting it all and send a tip to the Guardian. I'm sure the Libs aren't the only ones using these predictive analytics stuff though.
This is why political patties want your email and phone number -- so they can add you to a database and enrich it with data scraped from profiling platforms, data brokers, ethnicity predictors and other commercial data sources.
I've only done privacy frosting before but the application process is the same. It's a very easy DIY job and the film is inexpensive on ebay and I'm sure other places. All this to say you could definitely set aside an hour or two to DIY it and see the result.

It's pretty telling they didn't have an actual MP willing to sit in the ABC panel.
