Reported at www.sbs.com.au: A recent survey targeted voters in the Australian electorates of Wentworth and Goldstein, presenting biased questions about independent MPs Allegra Spender and Zoe Daniel, which has led to accusations of being a “push poll.”

This technique, which aims to influence opinions through misleading questions, is legal federally in Australia, though restricted in some states.

Experts counsel voters to be cautious and aware of tactics that may undermine their electoral decision-making.
