Title: Fake voting cards preferencing Dutton in Qld
Post by mothra on May 19th, 2019 at 1:53pm
Fake voting cards preferencing Dutton exposed in Queensland

Volunteers have allegedly been caught red-handed distributing fraudulent “how to vote” cards to preference Liberal Peter Dutton.

Dressed in official-looking “Vote for Queensland” shirts, the volunteers were caught by 7NEWS handing out the cards, which falsely preferenced Dutton at number two for the Greens and number three for the Animal Justice party.

“It says here that they’re authorised by Warwick Armstrong,” one young volunteer told 7NEWS.

“Again, I’m not sure (who that is), I’m just a volunteer.”

Peter Dutton’s name was flown through the sky in a 300m high flyer from Get Up, but with the message “Ditch Dutton”.

Mr Dutton said such action was “too pushy and over the top”.

Mr Dutton holds the seat of Dickson by a tight 1.7 per cent margin.

this is why the libs keep winning

they will lie, cheat and steal every vote they can get away with . Until labor can get just as dirty, they won't win.

Who was it that said, "People get the Government they deserve"?  Appears we are condemned to another three years of the ScoMo hell.

Fake how-to-vote cards?  Typical Tory dirty tricks.   ::)

Concerns of the Librals undermining Medicare have always been very well founded and a real threat.

the right are the natural party of leadership.

surely this election confirms this fact.

people seek comfort in the alpha male.

strong, powerful , resourceful, influential.

thats our Peter .

lefties like islam (which translates as "submit").

why do they resist submission to the superior man.

their anxiety and bed wetting will all go away when they just do what comes naturally and submit

I never said that. Just pointing out that Labor has a track record in lying and untruthful scare campaigns.

Take a look out of both eyes for a change, and maybe you'll see what your mob of mendacious maggots are doing.

Not as badly as the criminal who was authorising the printing of signs in Mandarin that were in AEC purple, next to AEC signage, and telling Chinese Australians that the "correct" way to vote was to put the number "1" next to the Liberal party and then number all the other boxes. Misleading voters in this way is a criminal offence with a maximum penalty of 6 months in prison and a substantal fine.

The ALP should not let this misconduct go, but should challenge both in the Court of Disputed Returns with the goal of annulling the results, forcing by-elections and jailing the criminals. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept!

and that proves what? mediscare was about what the libs planning at the time. Libs had their arses kicked over it so they changed their plans. It happens all the time.
Do you think labor will go to the next election with the same policies

I thought it was criminal, but apparently the AEC said there was nothing illegal in it ... I don't understand how it cannot be illegal

The AEC is not the Court of Disputed Returns. This is why the court exists. The AEC has been wrong before.
