Australia weighs in

Mr Rudd said Australia would usually avoid comment on internal electoral processes in other democracies but the Morrison government might have to take a different approach.

"If, however, a leading democracy begins to suspend its normal democratic processes, then I think it is incumbent on Australia to add its voice," he said. "And that's because the issues at stake for Australia are so fundamental. It will depend, of course, on the nature of the actual outcome.

"We cannot simply stand idly by while the good name of democracy gets flushed down the toilet."
