While I enjoyed watching both series to see strong women in control, series 2 episode 4 had a serious flaw that is effectively gaslighting the viewing public.
As much as Scott Morrison wants to introduce voter ID laws, it is not required at polling stations and a prospective MP would know that. Alex was asked by a snippy woman but her brother was not. I get that it was supposed to reflect casual racism but it was a dangerous and erroneous inclusion. It casts doubt and unease on the rest of the series.
You need ID to register to vote in Australia but because voting is compulsory for registered voters there has been little evidence of voter fraud.
