Oh, it's totally not about trust. :-) I think they're certifiable nut-cases, worse than the religious nuts, that's for sure. I just think that they will have less impact than the religious nuts.
The religious nuts have serious traction in the major parties - they basically control the Lib/Nats already, and they've got a bloody strong following in the Labor party.
Climate though, is starting to be an issue the majors are actually looking at properly, not just hand-waving about.
As for preference flow, I'm not sure how many senators are up for election in WA, but in VIC there are more than are on the Labor and Liberal ticket, so I expect preference flow to go very deep on my ticket. Especially so since I've put Conroy from Labor pretty far down...
