Mr Rockliff wrote to to the Greyhound Community via the Northwest (Devonport) Club, only a matter of days before the Election, offering his full support of the Sport of Greyhound Racing and the people involved in it; only to recant completely just after the Election and ban the Sport. How is this not seen as theft of votes? Under the Electoral Act, section 329(1), The Act, "makes it a criminal offence to print, publish or distribute or cause, permit or authorise to be printed, published or distributed any matter or thing during the relevant period that is likely to mislead or deceive an elector in relation to the casting of a vote."
Mr Rockliff STOLE votes by writing that letter, and it would be interesting to know, as it was such a close election, if the "stolen votes" would have made a difference. Why hasn't he been charged with this offence?
