That's a feature (ie., "bug") of our system of mandatory preferential voting. If, out of all candidates on your ballot, candidate whom you placed second-last on your ballot gets in, you just voted him or her in. Optional preferential voting means you don't necessarily have to do that. That candidate may still get in, but it will have been without your vote without your having to cast an informal vote.

If we had a brain, a conscience and some balls we would be chasing these politician fucks down the street with baseball bats until we splattered every last one of their heads open.

It's easy for me as a foreigner to say, but shouldn't you be working the soap box harder before going straight to the ammo box? It seems to me that part of the reason that people live in two-party systems is that the people who live in them think that they live in a two-party system. It's a tight circle, but I should hope that it can be broken without having to circumvent normal civic processes.
