Why is the AEC so fucking spineless against right wing lies?
Every time they pull some dodgy voting shit, they get away scotfree.
To be fair it’s not the AEC’s fault. In order to get the coalition’s support, Labor decided to not require fact checking. Seems like an own-goal to me.
So they've just turned the AEC I to a misinformation peddler, excellent.
Why do you think labor were involved in deciding no fact checking? Has there been fact checking before?
I thought the convention was the politicians that vote on having a referendum decide the language. The No voters decide on no. The yes voters decide on yes.
