Next week the Senate will vote on my motion to refer two matters that came out of the recent referendum to the Joint Standing Committee on Election Matters.
The first is about the misappropriation of the purple colour used by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC). It confuses people and should be available to the AEC only. Even the AEC Commissioner is asking for protection on the purple they use.
Secondly, we need to clarify the words that should appear on a referendum ballot paper includes the full text of the amendment. This is in keeping with the wording of the Constitution.
Please share this video among your family and friends, call or email your Senators, and let’s get these loopholes tightened up for the sake of future confidence in our elections.
