They all seem to do it slightly differently - but all with the same intention.In 2010 the state Labor party even registered the name of the opposition leader as a reply paid address to intercept your information.If you've still got your reply-paid envelope, use it to send a message back to the parties telling them you despise dodgy practices, and that they have now lost your support.Dodgy how to vote cards, false promise, dressing up as other parties, intercepting postal ballot applications and your personal information is not good enough, so use your vote to send them a clear message at this federal election, by putting the honest candidates above them when you preference.Being forced to attend, forced to prefer even those you oppose diminishes your right to a free vote, dodgy information, lies and deceit, let alone many lobby groups providing false information about the candidates themselves denies you the right to cast an informed vote. Add to this fake how to vote information, dodgy electoral rolls and reply paid addresses and democracy in its true sense fails.Do not let your vote endorse such an undemocratic system.Mark Aldridge Independent federal candidate for WakefieldLink to all the latest dodgy practices, facts and figureshttps://www.markmaldridge.com/2013-REWRITE-OF-ELECTORAL-LAW.htmlOther detailed articles on my site and at www.howtovoteinsa.net                  Home | FARM DIRECT MARKETS SA | DODGY ELECTIONS THE TRUTH | SAVING OUR FOOD INDUSTRY 2013 | VOTING 4 ANIMAL WELFARE | VOTE NO TO AUST WITH OUT FARMS | THE RSPCA EXPOSED | DAFWA undermine justice | WHY VOTE FOR AN INDEPENDENT | ABOUT MARK | STANDING UP FOR LOCAL BUSINESS | BILL OF RIGHTS FOR AUSTRALIA | AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION  | MARK BRIEF IDEALS OVERVIEW | THE DEMISE OF AUSSIE RIGHTS | CARBON TAX WHOLE STORY UPDATE  | DEMAND SUPPORT FOR DAIRY FARMS | SA ELECTION FACTS FOR 2010/14 | FLUORIDE THE SIMPLE TRUTH | HEMP / CANNABIS EXPOSED" | WATER PROOFING South Australia | WHERE DOES OUR TAX MONEY GO? | MY POLITICAL HISTORY 1999/2012 | CONTACT ME | DIGNITY FOR THE DISABLED | The Muddied Water Debate | 2013 REWRITE OF ELECTORAL LAW | MY RALLY FOR THE CHILDREN | 24 POLICE STATION IN SALISBURY | WORKCOVER....NO THANKYOU | 2013 REFERENDUM ON COUNCILS | REFERENDUM 2013 VOTE NO DEBATE | On line Gambling | On line security | Aboriginal Soverignty in SA | Regional Aust missing out! | The water story part 2 | DODGY ELECTORAL LAWS | GETUP THE FULL EXPOSE 2011 | Nuclear Power & the future | COUNTRY PEOPLE DESERVE MORE | Family Law reform please | 11/5 election dispute update | SMALL BUSINESS DESERVE MORE | Federal Tax reform figures | Electoral commission affidavit | BILL OF RIGHTS V COMMON LAW | MULTICULTURALISM OR NOT? | Climate Debate the Way Forward | ROAD SAFETY FOR SA | The Carbon Tax explained | AUSTRALIAS DEBT "TOO FAR?" | ROAD SAFETY AND TRAFFIC LAWS | How Labor won Ramsay | RESTORE REGO LABELS? | LABOR ABANDONS INNOVATION  | AUSTRALIA...
