Electoral Commission reprimanded for massive data breach

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has issued a formal reprimand to the Electoral Commission following a cyberattack that compromised the personal data of approximately 40 million individuals.

@redflag This has been going on for a couple of weeks now, why isn't the Electoral Commission intervening? #ElectoralCommision #VotingFraud

WARNING: #Elections in #SouthAustralia rigged against #minorParties.

They've had 4 yrs to fix this. Noone at the #ElectoralCommision (#ECSA) has fixed #misleading instructions that caused 70,000 #votes for minorParties to be binned.

If you vote for a #minorParty you *must* number as many above-the-line as possible. Following their top instruction and numbering one party, means your vote is #wasted if that party doesn't get in.

Govts in #Australia quietly abolished #PartyPreferences #post2016.
