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

UNSW Sydney < 1 mins read

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.

‘None of us like to see lies and deceitful behaviour by the parties who we trust to govern us. On the face of it, having a body like the Australian Electoral Commission assess political content for deceptive or incomplete facts makes sense. However, the challenge is deciding what constitutes a fact or deciding what is the truth and then how you police that objectively and fairly.’
