Attempt to coerce
I received a "Postal Voting Information for the Electorate of Gosford" booklet recently in relation to the forthcoming State election on March 26, inviting me to fill out a postal vote application form.
It seems that this form will only enable me to vote Labor as it clearly indicates that this application will only be sent to the office of Marie Andrews, who is the sitting Labor member for Gosford, and not even re-nominating for this seat, and therefore I expect I would receive only a Labor "How to Vote" paper.
I am definitely not a Labor voter and take extreme offense at what I feel is a deceptive, dishonest and misleading attempt to coerce me to vote Labor.
