Although, referring to a different thread elsewhere this morning, I note that that article you linked to says:
Anyone getting more than 50% of first-preference votes is elected. If no-one gets 50% of votes the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their backers' second choices allocated to those remaining. This process continues until one candidate has at least 50% of all votes cast.

So I maintain it's no wonder I'm confused!
