No - there is no way they can know who wrote "fsck all politicians" on
an otherwise empty ballot paper - is there?
and in Aus you may also find your vote is still legal even if you vote
different from intructions. I.e. in some elections, all you need to do
is vote 1 and only one. In other cases, they have specifically outlawed
(= your vote is not counted).
I am reminded with all the USA 4th July discussion of the Cobb cartoon
for the USA bicentennial year. Background is a row of missiles, each
number with a differeent year pre and post, but for 1976(?), the missile
was replace with fireworks. The caption - now is a time to celebrate
your rights, not exercise them.
