Comment on The Coalition's and Labor’s faux postal vote forms are a blatant scam

While they technically have the right authorisations on them, the envelope and postal vote form I received could easily be mistaken as official from anyone not paying 100% attention.
According to the article the websites both take all your information then redirect you to the actual postal voting registration, potentially leading voters to think they’ve already submitted for a postal vote when they haven’t.

I agree that it’s a shit practice, but it just doesn’t seem very dastardly or nefarious?
I can see that there’s the potential for someone to think they’ve registered when they have not, but that’s not the intention.
