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.’

19 September 2024 Using super for a housing deposit would make homes more expensive, hinder the home ownership aspirations of young Australians, reduce retirement incomes, and lead to a significant long-term cost to the Budget, a Corinna Economic Advisory report authored by Saul Eslake has found. In an independent report, commissioned by the Super Members Council, Mr Eslake charts how a long list of demand-side Australian housing policies over several decades have simply made homes more expensive. He warns super for a house would be the worst of all. “We have 60 years of history, which unambiguously tells us, anything…
