ACT: shamelessly campaigning with your money

Earlier in the week we heard that Heather Roy may have broken the Electoral Finance Act by including party advertising messages in her weekly taxpayer funded newsletters without the required authorisation by ACT’s financial agent.

This time round she’s added the necessary authorisation but decided that it’s still ok to bill us for hearing from her.

She explicitly asks for our votes on the first page of her electronic newsletter (“Party Vote ACT”), then helpfully lets us know that we’re paying for the privilege by including the Parliamentary crest on the final page.
