I mean, if they were showing pictures of Bill Shorten and Scott Morrison, I can imagine how they wouldn't be able to tell them apart!

I do think it's a bit different for rural people, though, in that we have often met the local MP (and complained to them at length!) whereas when I was living in Melbourne I never once saw either of my local members in the whole time I was there. People where I live might not know policy differences between the major parties but they definitely know who's meant to be looking out for them.
