That being said, the senatorial method of letting the parties set the preferences still seems odd.

It's a matter of practicality - the number of candidates (my state was 97, and I know NSW was more than that) means requiring people to vote all their preferences means a lot of people would never finish.

I suppose that’s why we have primary elections here in the States. :)
