paragraph_text: Preferences
  
  As is tradition in Australian elections, several parties recommended voters' preferences be directed to certain candidates. The Coalition recommended voters direct their second preference votes to the One Nation candidate or the Libertarian candidate. One Nation also chose to preference Coalition candidates second in some seats. In electorates where the Liberal and National parties are running against each other, the National candidate in these areas recommended preferences be directed to the Liberal candidate second, then preferences recommended to One Nation, with Labor and the Greens candidates usually last. Teal independent candidates supported by Climate 200 generally did not recommend preferences.
  
  The Labor Party chose to preference the Greens second in most seats except for Macnamara due to the Greens' pro-Palestinian leanings and the seat having a large Jewish population. The Greens directed voters to preference Australia's Voice, pro-Palestinian candidates, and teal independents higher than Labor. The Greens also chose to preference Labor higher than the Coalition in every seat that they contested. Trumpet of Patriots chose to recommend voters preference incumbent candidates last, although in Bennelong they recommended preferencing the incumbent Labor candidate Jerome Laxale above the Liberal candidate Scott Yung but preferenced incumbent teal independents below the Liberal candidate.
