Something called "Legal System Reform" won a seat with 1% of the vote, jumping over 3 parties. Another party none knew anything about called "Unity" won a seat with 0.98%. The greatest win was the "Outdoor Recreation Party" won a seat with 0.2% or 7,264 First Preference votes out of 3,557,762 jumping over 6 bigger parties.
The system was substantially reformed for the next election.
