sentences:  The CCC received criticism from some groups, for refusing to advocate preferences, under the Australian preferential voting system, to other political parties with strong environmental credentials.The group was not registered as a political party in NSW and so under NSW electoral law could not display a party name on the ballot paper at the top of the group column.The 21 "Group F" candidates polled 18,999 votes in total, or 0.50% of the total formal vote, and were therefore well short of the quota of 173,239 (4.55%) required for election of any candidate.
