To be fair it’s not the AEC’s fault. In order to get the coalition’s support, Labor decided to not require fact checking. Seems like an own-goal to me.

So they've just turned the AEC I to a misinformation peddler, excellent.

Why do you think labor were involved in deciding no fact checking? Has there been fact checking before?

I thought the convention was the politicians that vote on having a referendum decide the language. The No voters decide on no. The yes voters decide on yes.
