You can’t lie when you sell someone a chicken, but it’s entirely legal to lie in political advertising in Australia.
The deliberate spread of misinformation by parties and other groups was a prominent feature of the recent election.
We have to fix this problem in the 48th Parliament.

Parliament should pass truth in political advertising laws when we sit next week and ban deepfakes in election campaigns.

I couldn’t keep quiet any longer and spoke in Parliament about the fossil-fuelled origins of Advance and its links to the shadowy billionaire-run Atlas Network. Make no mistake these groups are trying to undermine democracy to line their own pockets and they are coming after the Greens.

We urgently need electoral reform, but the govt’s electoral reform bill protects major party interests and undermines democracy. It must be sent to inquiry to ensure fairer donation laws and election integrity.

oOH! Media has pulled this misleading billboard by pro-fossil fuel campaigners, Advance Australia.
The billboard, near Newcastle in NSW, caused outrage in the advertising industry, after being shared on LinkedIn.

It's perfectly legal to lie in a political ad in Australia.
Companies can't lie about their products, so why can parties lie about their opponent's policies - or their own?
Australia needs national truth in political advertising laws.

They say "We believe that the right to govern comes from the people, not from the elites"
Yet it is run by former Liberal MPs including the bloke I ousted

With a federal election around the corner, it is still legal to lie in political ads. This weakens our democracy.
