You do get tactical voting for the local electorate seats - but it's the party vote that mainly determines how many seats a party gets as a whole.

There are edge conditions - you need 5% PR support to get any seats, unless the party wins an electorate seat... So for the small parties, it's very important for them to either win a seat or get 5%.
