What a complete and utter farce in a multi-cultural society....

What a complete and utter farce in a multi-cultural society. They have a thousand language translations in all the documents BUT expect people to WRITE YES or NO on the ballot paper. If I write yes in a foreign language does it count as a valid yes vote? It appears there are many other failings in such an important referendum on this ballot document.

Surely common sense would have mandated that there were two boxes; a YES BOX and a NO BOX. Put your mark in either box. How simple is that. An apology if this has already been suggested.

EVERY Australian voter, no matter their literacy or writing skill can recognise YES and NO.

A valid tick and an invalid cross; conspiracy and manipulation par excellence.
People can write numbers on a ballot paper, why expect them to write words. There must be 250 different translation words for yes in the Aborigine dictionary – do they all count?
Amazing the descendants of the early inhabitants didn’t request we use their language as well.
