Stop Victoria's fake political party scam decieving voters

Stop Victoria's fake party rort Imagine voting for a party called "Refugees Are Welcome Here" – and finding out your vote went to Pauline Hanson.

That's not a hypothetical. It's happening right now. A network of rightwing activists have registered four fake parties in Victoria – "Refugees Are Welcome Here", "Muslim Votes Matter", "Free Palestine" and "Save the Environment" – designed to look like progressive movements. They're not. They're vote traps, built to secretly redirect your preferences to One Nation and other conservative parties through backroom deals you never see and never agreed to.

The people behind them haven't even tried to hide it. They've posted videos explaining the strategy. Cybersecurity researchers found all four fake parties running off identical infrastructure – same servers, same templates, same operator.

Victoria is the last state in Australia where this is still legal. A bill to fix it has support from every party in parliament. Two inquiries chaired by Labor MPs have recommended it. The Victorian Electoral Commission says the government has until August to act before it's too late for November's election. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has the power to pass it – and GetUp members are calling on her to do exactly that.

If you're in Victoria, your vote is directly at risk. For all of us, this is about the kind of democracy we want – one where votes can't be bought, communities can't be impersonated, and every person knows exactly who they're voting for.

Sign now and tell Jacinta Allan to act.
