What does an election writ look like?
It's printed on heavy paper and has a traditional wax seal, quaint 19th century wording and font, and sets out the formal dates for all the required steps of the election.

The Governor General signs three ten writs. one which becomes the writs for 150 House of Representatives elections One is issued for each state and territory, triggering election in all divisions in the state. There are also separate writs for the ACT Senate election and the Northern Territory Senate election.
Once the Prime Minister visits the Governor-General and requests a dissolution of the House and an election, and in the current case is almost certainly granted the request at once, the preparation and notification process slips into gear, and all the states have to act to arrange for the Senate writs to be issued.
Before writs are issued, the Governor-General issues a proclamation to prorogue the Parliament and dissolve the House of Representatives. Generally the Official Secretary delivers the proclamation on the Great Verandah of Parliament House, after which it is posted outside of the House of Representatives chamber. This document has affixed to it the Great Seal of Australia. It is this document that a Prime Minister would bring to Government House when advising the Governor-General to call an election.

It doesn't say a party.
Now we watch and see what happens because the government has been dissolved, awaiting the election which cannot go ahead lawfully, it appears....
Australian Electoral Act 1918 Section 154.2.4.b.I
Who knows what will happen going forward. It will be an illegal and illegitimate election, but it appears they all have been...
We have all been asked to enquire on election day when we go to vote if we can see the writ because they have to show you. Video the request and response. Because if they don’t have it, then it means the elections are illegal & you will have proof that THEY could not provide the WRIT…..
