UNSW Sydney expert available to comment: Truth in political advertising legislation

UNSW Sydney < 1 mins read
  • Media:

UNSW Sydney researcher and lecturer Dr Nicholas Richardson is an expert in advertising and political and policy communications and is available to speak about the challenges inherent in policing truth in political advertising.

However, the challenge is deciding what constitutes a fact or deciding what is the truth and then how you police that objectively and fairly.’
