"MORE than 150 postal votes have been destroyed in Tasmania after being “irreparably damaged’’ by a letter-opening machine, the state’s electoral commission says.
The Tasmanian Electoral Commission said 2338 postal votes for the seat of Denison in Saturday’s election were damaged due to “improper operation of the machine and poor quality control measures’’.
The TEC said 2175 ballot papers were repaired, but 163 were “irreparably damaged’’ and were treated as informal.
“A range of candidates are likely to have been affected, but Liberal Party candidates disproportionately so,’’ Electoral Commissioner Julian Type said in a statement."

Didn't happen under Rudd or Gillard. Twice votes destroyed under Abbott.

"Senior federal Liberal MP Christopher Pyne says the result is proof the system isn't working, an opinion reiterated by South Australian independent Senator Nick Xenophon."
