This video discusses the current limits on political advertising that are set out in federal laws concerning federal elections. It discusses the relevant constitutional power to enact these laws, and the limits on that power. It then addresses the authorisation requirements for advertisements.
It discusses the narrow interpretation of section 329 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Cth) which prohibits a person from publishing or distributing anything that is 'likely to mislead or deceive an elector in relation to the casting of a vote'. In doing so, it addresses the Crichton-Browne case from 1981 and the more recent Garbett v Liu case in 2019 about displaying corflutes that imitate the Australian Electoral Commission's signage.
It also talks about 'dark advertising' on social media and the obligation on commercial broadcasters to give political parties represented in Parliament reasonable opportunities to broadcast electoral matter.
If you identify political advertisements that appear to breach the law, you can notify the Australian Electoral Commission about them. See https://www.aec.gov.au/faqs/misleadin... which gives further information about unlawful advertisements and details on how to complain.
