The Coalition is under scrutiny over a pamphlet delivered to thousands of homes that directs electors to a website that harvests their personal information. The pamphlet advocating the ‘No’ case in the referendum on an Indigenous Voice to parliament includes a QR code with a link to the postal.vote website, which was also used by the Liberal and National parties during the 2022 election. It invites voters to apply for a postal vote by entering their name and contact details, and states that this will be forwarded to the Liberal and National parties. The site then informs electors that applications for postal votes are not yet available. The Australian Electoral Commission says people should always apply for a postal vote directly through it.
