Greens how-to-vote cards, that recommend preferences, will recommend a preference for Labor above the Coalition and place other right wing parties last. The Greens will also recommend a preference for climate independents in key Liberal held seats.
In the Senate the Greens will also recommend preferences to progressive candidates and Labor.
Door knocking with volunteers in his electorate of Melbourne today, Mr Bandt also reminded voters that they decide where to put their preferences, not political parties.
The Greens are running in 151 seats across the country and Greens preferences will be critical in many key marginal seats.
