Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Voting intention is dealt with under section 93(8) of the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Act 1984.
50% : I have worked on state elections that employ optional preferential voting in the past; the Liberal Party runs greyscale corflute signs that ask voters only to number one box, while the Labor Party has run greyscale corflutes that ask voters to number every box -- these corflutes both look similar to official AEC signage.
45% : In 1999, during the republic referendum of that year, the Australian Monarchist League's Philip Benwell took the issue to the Federal Court, arguing -- rightly -- that the Commission was contravening section 24 of the Referendum Act.
