@AusElectoralCom Section 321D of the Electoral Act does not apply in relation to electoral matter if the matter forms part of a communication that is: (d)an envelope that has written on it the name and address of the notifying entity for that envelope.
Which part of the Act are you using? #aston

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

Inside the "offical" looking envelope to #Aston electorate.
Is envelope illegal, without Liberal ID?
Content is certainly unethical & anti-democratic. Why can parties can send postal vote applications + their propaganda blurring the line bw themselves & the @AusElectoralCom

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

@AusElectoralCom Interesting interpretation. The envelope conveys electoral communications (by & for 1 party) & says: "IMPORTANT voting info for the #Aston by-election."
Another interpretation: Liberals intentionally didn't include their name to mislead & induce voters to open unwanted mail.

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

@AusElectoralCom Thanks @AusElectoralCom for quick reply.

Will interesting about the envelope.

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

This arrived in #Aston letterboxes yesterday. @AusElectoralCom is this illegal?
From Liberal Party - but without "the NAME ... of the notifying entity for that envelope" (Part 2, S7(2)(d) Commonwealth Electoral (Authorisation of Voter Communication) Determination 2021.

@AntonyGreenElec thanks!

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

Democracy & integrity & real representation in #Aston. Can't come soon enough.
@AntonyGreenElec, we're all asking about the by-election date. Any ideas?

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

Should YES Voices be resurrected? In light of today's developments in #Aston

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

Same old, sad, lazy horse-race 'journalism.'

Why don't you do something substantive for our democracy & report on the real issues affecting Australians, where we live, in our communities?!

[Andrew Brown @AndrewBrownAU]

It’s good to know that no matter who is in government, no matter which party is changing the leader, the sport of corridor watching during a spill will always remain

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

@AndrewBrownAU Sadly true. Because you & other media types make it so.
Sad, lazy, horse-race 'journalism.'

Why don't you get out & report on the real issues affecting Australians, where we live, in our communities?!

[YES Voices! @YESVoices]

YES! @zoedaniel well said. Integrity & honesty & accountability. What could the political parties be afraid of?

"Use of taxpayers’ money must be taken incredibly seriously by those who are managing it, and if there are doubts about the way they are managing it then we need a way of monitoring that. And I say, what are they afraid of?" You have a choice. #GoldsteinVotes
