The head of the agency in charge of federal elections says it's time to modernize Canada's elections, including testing online voting and ending a ban on publishing early election results.
Because that could never result in fraud, oh wait. Paper ballots are NOT THAT HARD.
I have a rough idea for a generic commercial that the UK pro-AV campaign should have used, and that groups trying to counter this should use.
VO: Australia.
Shots of Australiana - beaches, kangaroos, etc. Throw in the Opera House, why not.
VO: The Land Down Under. Founded as a prison colony for the petty criminals of Britain.
Shots embodying the best negative stereotypes about my country. Throw in crap from the Cronulla race riots if you have to.
VO: In Australia, everyone votes. It's illegal not to.
Perhaps a shot of a really stupid-looking Aussie, with a stamp saying "This person votes" or something.
VO: They use preferential voting. On paper.
VO: It runs smoothly, every time.
Clip of Antony Green showing an election results thing - something shiny.
VO: They've been doing it like that for eighty years.
Old shots of election coverage from decades past.
VO: So vote [no to AV/yes to online ballots/etc]. Because Australians?
Something really stupid. Preferably involving a really drunk Australian.
VO: Australians are better than you. Every single one of them.
