This is not something our electoral system is designed to account for. There is nothing stopping a bunch of Zionists from registering a political party called ‘Free Palestine’ and direct all their preferences to a cause at complete odds with what voters expect they will be supporting.
I bet there’d be some sort of ramifications if someone registered the name ‘new libs’ and redirected all preferences to Labor or Greens.
I think the AEC (and related State bodies) has codes it must enforce under its legislation, anything outside those codes it cannot enforce and would be going beyond it’s remit to attempt to. The agency won’t have the latitude that the judiciary have, nor should they.
Although these cases all build on the reality that the AEC’s rules may be inadequate for the multitude of bad faith partisans infecting Australian democracy.
