Commenting on "'Not illegal': Liberal official defends Chinese language signs"
https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/not-illegal-liberal-official-defends-chinese-language-signs-20200207-p53yva.html
The sign is DEFINITELY misleading and deceptive, because it actually says in the heading, "The accurate way to vote", follows by the rest of the content that, "on the green voting form, mark 1 next to the Liberal candidate, then mark in the squares with number from a small to large sequence".The point that is challengeable is - "The accurate way to vote ... mark 1 next to the Liberal candidate". I strongly disagree that the content was correct in context when read by a Chinese who could understand the written language.
In addition, the Liberal logo was missing, and therefore further misled Chinese voters that was an official How to Vote instruction.
The matter should be submitted to some Chinese academia for proper translation to prove that the incorrect content did have an impact on the Chinese community when casting their votes!
Thank you for reading.
