Click on the 2019 Australian Conservatives how-to-vote card below
for a zoomable picture of it, for finer detail.

The card below names the Australian Conservatives' three candidates for the Senate, and also has a photograph of them with the Party's leader, who is a continuing long-term senator for another State.

The party's how-to-vote card has the soothing statements, "Voting above the line is the simplest way to elect Conservative Senators on the white ballot paper", and "No need to number the boxes below the thick black line", but that does in effect ask voters to make no independent judgement about the relative merits of the party's three candidates, but to just take the party's order on trust.

Does the party think that some conservative voters might well ask themselves, "Does the thick black line and the option below it serve a purpose, and why am I being encouraged not to use it?"

The party does at least advise voters that they are in control of their preferences, even though that advice relates just to the above-the-line vote being urged, fortunately without a particular order of five other groups after its own group being specified, and that decision at least being left to the voter's choice.
