    Are you now trying to say that the Chinese are trying to influence the Election ?? You really are new to this arent you !

    The Libs deliberately lied to influence the Australian Chinese voters at the last election.

    Maybe they will remember this at the next election .

    The former acting Victorian state director for the Liberal party has admitted in court that signs written in Chinese at polling booths on election day were designed to look like official Australian Electoral Commission signage.

    The full federal court is hearing the challenges to the elections of Liberal MP Gladys Liu in Chisholm and the treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, in Kooyong over three days. The cases have been brought against the two candidates by climate campaigner Vanessa Garbett and unsuccessful independent Kooyong candidate Oliver Yates.On Wednesday, Simon Frost, who authorised the signs, said under questioning from Lisa De Ferrari, the barrister for the applicants, that the two signs – one in traditional Chinese characters, and one in simplified Chinese characters – were intended to appear as though they were AEC corflutes.

    The signs that were used in seven electorates in Victoria said, according to an English translation, that the “correct way to vote” was to put 1 next to the Liberal candidate.“You intended to convey the impression that this was an AEC corflute, didn’t you?” De Ferrari asked.Frost, now an adviser to Frydenberg, took a long pause before replying: “It was similar to the AEC colours, yes.”

    “So the answer to my question is yes?” De Ferrari pressed.Advertisement“Yes,” Frost replied.Frost had already confirmed that the signs were intended to say “to make your vote count” but the meaning was lost in translation to “the correct way to vote”. He said on Thursday it “could be” a problem that the signs said different words than he authorised.
