There is a criminal offence in s 329(1) of the Electoral Act:

A person shall not, during the relevant period in relation to an election under this Act, print, publish or distribute, or cause, permit or authorize to be printed, published or distributed, any matter or thing that is likely to mislead or deceive an elector in relation to the casting of a vote.

Surely we're crossing that line here?
