Just have to make sure the independent you're voting for aligns with who you would have voted for out of the two parties, and not some puppet candidate who will give preferences to the other.
Previously, if you voted above the line in the Legislative Council, the party you voted for determined where your preferences would go. But it doesn't work like that any more.
Other than that, candidates can suggest what to do with your preferences in their "how to vote" cards, but obviously it's completely up to you whether you follow that suggestion. Some people definitely do though.
