Shadow minister Jane Hume calls it an ‘inconsistency’ that a cross on a ballot paper will not count as ‘no’
in the constitution, expected to be held on 14 October, will clearly tell voters “write yes or no” on two separate occasions.that due to savings provisions which have been in place since 1988, and used in six referendums, that “it is likely that a tick will be accepted as a formal vote for yes but a cross will not be accepted as a formal vote”., Hume told Sky News on Sunday it was “really a commonsense issue”.
Hume cited other “integrity measures” such as that both yes and no sides have tax deductible gift status, and households were sent official pamphlets setting out the yes and no case, something which the Coalition fought to keep in negotiations with Labor over the machinery bill. Archer, a Liberal supporter of the voice, told Guardian Australia “the AEC has been very clear in relation to this matter, they are a robust and trusted institution”.
