Screen sized to 300% says it's authorised by the Liberal Party.
Can't read who, though.
it's not OK by me stawka.. but because of that authorization, the AEC said it was OK... even though the sign was in their colours and placed next to the AEC sign to make it look like the AEC was telling people how to vote

I challenge anyone to explain to me how a vote could be erased/changed while the count goes on, remembering that scrutineers write down the totals and these would have to match the official AEC totals that are shown on the AEC website for every polling booth. I am sure if the scrutineer totals differed from the AEC totals a complaint would be lodged by the aggrieved party.
I just looked at the AEC website and they now have the booth by booth totals for each electorate. These were the totals I referred to in my previous post.
Here is a link to the first booth (alphabetically) in my electorate showing the first preference and two party preferred tally:

These would have been totalled at the booth before the ballot papers were returned to an AEC office. Scrutineers would have had access to these before the papers left the booth, again reinforcing the validity of the vote even though pencils were used at the booth.
