The full text of the Letter to the Editor, is below.

I refer to the Letter To the Editor from C Hillan of Seville Grove, published in the Armadale Examiner dated 28 April 2016.
That letter is incorrect in the assertion "It is now a two horse race".
For the first time, we are now not forced to vote for candidates that we do not want, at least, in regard to senate elections, when a double dissolution election occurs.
In a double dissolution, a state, such as WA, has 12 vacancies, and, we can vote for only the twelve candidates that we want, to fill those vacancies.
We are no longer forced to vote, against our will, for the LNP/ALP candidates, that we were required to do, in order to cast a valid vote.
We can now vote the LNP/ALP candidates, out of the senate.
All that it requires, is for voters to, for the first time, properly use a senate ballot paper, by voting below the line, and, voting for 12 individuals, and, not voting for parties.
It is quite simple, really.
Just vote for the candidates - 12 of them, to fill twelve vacancies, by voting for 12 candidates, "below the line".
It could, if the voters decide to do the right thing, for once, completely change the makeup of the senate, and, if the voters so want, could eliminate the LNP/ALP from the senate.
It is now, for the first time for several decades, up to the voters to decide who gets elected to the senate.

Note: The Comment News and the Artmadale Examiner local "newspapers", apart from being delivered to this property, only about once every 2-3 years, have apparently imposed a ban on publishing any Letters To The Editor from the author; Bret Busby.
This may be because the person who is the subject of the ban, does not always write letters that are beneficial to the advertisers who pay these "local newspapers".
However, if you are a customer of these publications, as an advertiser that pays for advertising in these publications, you should be aware that you are not getting the coverage for which you are paying, with your paid advertising, quite apart from the primary objective of these publications, apparently being to appease the customers to whom they are selling paid advertising that does not provide the coverage, for which the advertising fees are charged.
