Anticipating the referendum, the Australian Electoral Commission has started to post to every voter the official “yes” and “no” cases.

Key Points: 
  • Anticipating the referendum, the Australian Electoral Commission has started to post to every voter the official “yes” and “no” cases.
  • These cases were approved by the politicians who voted in favour of, or against, the amendment in parliament.
  • They have not been subject to an independent fact check or analysis before publication.
  • As members of the Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law and the Indigenous Law Centre, we have spent the past few weeks carefully reviewing the substantive claims made in the official “yes” and “no” cases.
