Rather than any judicial challenge against a yes vote, I think what's more likely to happen is that the result will be NO/NO, and instead of an admission of how they ballsed up an open goal, the government will deflect and blame mis/disinformation from the far right.jmayo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 1:45 pm And the journal beloved of all woke and hip have confirmed it.
I suppose if Gript had run with it they would claim it was misinformation.
If it does pass then I could forsee a judicial challenge based on the the government
Wasn't the electoral commission meant to ensure we had all the facts?
I see they only mentioned disinformation and misinformation.
Nothing about lack of information.
how convenient.

Then again minister Martin can be done for misinformation.
The fact that ministers lied about the AG's legal advice will somehow not be covered by the definition mis/disinformation.
Personally I don't really understand the difference between mis and disinformation, but I'm pretty sure I've never heard either term applied to the spin and lies peddled by politicians. I'm not holding my breath that this is likely to change any time soon.
