Thank you to everyone who's written in about They Vote For You and OpenAustralia.org, and why there have been no updates since mid-March. Rest assured, we're aware of the issue and are working to fix it. #AusPol #TheyVoteForYou #TVFY #OpenAustralia #OAF #OpenAustraliaFoundation
Thank you for your patience as we work on retrieving and updating the divisions that have been missing from They Vote For You! We'll be continuing to work on this over the holiday season.

We've learned that a screenshot of They Vote For You is being shared online that shows Opposition Leader Peter Dutton as a supporter of the Voice. This is clearly wrong and is connected to the error we posted about last week.
If you'd like to know more about what happened and what we've done in response, please see our new blog post on the subject https://www.oaf.org.au/2023/09/01/they-vote-for-you-theres-something-wrong-with-peter-duttons-voting-record/
Last week we shared a policy on the Voice to Parliament, but we've since realised that policy had several issues affecting its accuracy.
We've now replaced it with: (1) for a referendum on the Voice at theyvoteforyou.org.au/policies/308 and (2) for implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart at theyvoteforyou.org.au/policies/309
We apologise for this error, especially given the importance of the Voice.

The latest divisions are once again appearing on They Vote For You! We're now going to be working through each one to edit it into plain language and attach it to any relevant policy areas.
