The real reason is there is no legislation requiring truth in political advertising. First, find a way to commit to Truth, Voice and Treaty that is acceptable to our First Nations People where they don’t have to rely on the ‘good graces’ of the Coalition. Lastly, but not least importantly there should be a massive overhaul of the Electoral Act to prohibit falsehood in political advertising and comments by politicians. The Greens and independents probably would support advertising and financial truth in politics. A ban on lies in political advertising is popular according to a survey by The Australia Institute.
