In general Labor is red and Liberal is blue... that is usually what it is on all their web sites, campaign t-shirts, signs, logos and anything else that is used to let the public know what side of politics you are on...
Usually there will be the word Labor or Liberal on your material as well.
This usually made it very easy for a person to turn up at the voting venue and get a how to vote card. If you knew what party you wanted you went for the right coloured t-shirts....
hm.. lets not forget the Greens.. they are always green as well. (don't want to forget anyone)
So knowing that bit of information can you pick who is who from these images?

.My neighbour is one... having chatted to him yesterday about this topic he said that it would be a bit confusing for him...
OK, fill us in some more now, so far you have 1 neighbour (whose age is ?) who could be a bit confused about voting.
Exactly how many other people (elderly) have told you personally the exact same thing?
Did they specifically say if people aren't wearing the right coloured shirts (that they expect them to be wearing) that is going to make them vote for the wrong person/party?
make this about me being ageist... (which is so incredibly wrong by the way) instead of making it about the fact that the Labor politicians are are steering themselves away from looking like a Labor candidate in the hope that people will be fooled into voting for them...
You mentioned the elderly, you could have written the opening post without generalising about any one group of potential voters.
Any voter that is confused by coloured shirts and balloons should lose the right to vote.

I won't put an age on what I say is elderly... I live in an area with high numbers of retired people and many are elderly and elderly does not senile..
So if you can't or won't put an age on 'elderly and you don't believe elderly means senile,then what do you think it means, and why specifically refer to 'the elderly' when commenting on those you might be be 'going to vote knowing that the team they want to vote for will be in a certain colour... they go out and seek the people in the blue shirts and ask for how to vote cards'?
It's a pretty silly argument anyway, because if it were true, then for every feeble-minded liberal voting oldie conned into voting Labor by a blue shirt wearer, there would be an equally feeble-minded Labor voting oldie deceived into voting for another party because he or she refused to take a how-to-vote card from that same blue shirt wearer.

Good call TGSE---grey power still vote.
Notice in the second pic of the OP-a young lady wearing
red trakkie daks.
Would this be to attract the swinging voter.

It is just a fact that the older you get the slower your thinking...
I think that is a gross generalisation as well. Getting older doesn't mean people lose the ability to do normal tasks as they age (excluding those unfortunate enough to suffer from dementia/Alzheimers)
How many Labor MP-s/supporters Australia wide are out wearing blue shirts anyway?

Most of these outrages ove rLabor party antics, come from social media,blogs, The Daily Telegraph before they are posted here. The subject of this thread ( the discussion about Laborites wearing blue shirts) is not an original thought.
