He's putting it altogether domino... didn't you get that?
flyers were sent out in Chinese language as well and they're interpreted as unless you vote exactly like this your vote will be informal. He and his lawyers believe they have a case, whether they really have or not remains to be seen...

It's not just the Libs although conservative "advertising" propaganda does appear to be dominant in the 500 complaints
The electoral watchdog has found 87 cases of unlawful political advertising after being inundated with almost 500 complaints during the federal election.
These two certainly did not help the Labor cause
The handing-out of fake how-to-vote cards that told Greens voters to direct their preferences to Peter Dutton in Dickson. The AEC said this was not an issue because the “flyer does not purport to be an official [how-to-vote] card” and contained an authorisation.
- A string of false claims made in election advertising, including that Labor planned to introduce a death tax and car tax. Section 329 of the Electoral Act prohibits “misleading or deceptive” claims about the process of how to vote, but does not extend to general truth in political advertising.
The campaign was littered with examples of unsourced or anonymous political advertising that breached electoral laws.
The problem was particularly acute on social media, where fringe, sometimes anonymous groups paid to push political messaging to users.
In all, the Australian Electoral Commission has revealed it received almost 500 complaints about political advertising during the campaign, about 90 of which related to social media content.
It substantiated 87 of the complaints.
The AEC did not take punitive action in the 87 cases, but said it was able to more effectively and quickly resolve the breaches by issuing direct warnings.
It also did not take action on several complaints where voters were misled or deceived in an attempt to influence their vote. The AEC usually was unable to act because the cases did not fall foul of electoral law, no matter how egregious they appeared.

I don't see any excuse for lying.
No matter what the other parties are doing

Yes. They use pencils. Though I'm not sure they'd be allowed to vote in certain electorates where crayons are used.
