The signs were also used at polling booths in the nearby electorate of Chisholm which has a sizeable number of voters with Chinese heritage and was narrowly won by Liberal Gladys Liu.
Mr Yates was not surprised that it would likely take an independent to challenge political advertising standards as the major parties had taken advantage of weak electoral laws. There is no minimum standard of truth in advertising meaning information about policy and opposing candidates does not need to be factual. The AEC ruled that the signs did not breach electoral laws because they contained the necessary authorisation and they could not stop others from using the colour purple.
If this wasn't kosher then why do we have signs in public areas (hospital etc) and Govt Forms (Centerlink etc) written in or with instructions of several different languages? Maybe he was merely accommodating his non english speaking Chinese community.
It would not matter what colour the signs were this idiot could not have one
what the hell is happening in this country. Chinese election material ? Ridiculous
