Ah, fair enough, thanks everyone.
I wonder how that interacts with the racial discrimination act, the much-discussed 18C etc? Can you spout whatever racist crap you like in political advertising?
It did. By âCoal Australiaâ which Iâm guessing is effectively the MCA. The problem is that the ad looked like it was selling thermal coal as a reliable and cheap product.
ACCC
That is exactly what it was doing.

Except it isnât âselling a productâ under the rules if itâs a political ad. Farking loopholes.
The speed and detail they replied to me with makes me wonder how many times theyâve done the same with the same complaint.

Do we really have such a thing in our Constitution?
Edit: Yep, what they ^^^ all said already.
I havenât seen if it was posted elsewhere, but I found this article in the New York Times pretty eye opening to how much was known in the 80âs and how close there came to real global action occuring. It is extremely frustrating that we havenât made much progress since then.

Presumably because it is produced by a lobby group and had the little fast talk thingy at the end.
My understanding as a non lawyer is no. Canât incite violence, canât be racist, can defame etc.
There was the case where the libs distributed clearly racist and false pamphlets in Sydney and from memory got taken to court.
Looks very promising, but itâs the CSIRO so Iâm sure the government will find a way to fark it up.

Profit at EnergyAustralia has almost tripled as it cashes in on wholesale electricity prices pushed higher by the closure of the Hazelwood coal fired power station in Victoriaâs Latrobe Valley.
Consequences people, consequences and itâs only going to get worse.

Howâs that drought going sorfed?
Currently ammonia is made from LPG, so hardly carbon neutral and a waste of fossil fuel. If they have developed a way to make it on a commercial scale via electrolysis with solar power then it is a breakthrough.

Can you explain your point to me?
Because it seems like itâs âdonât privatise essential servicesâ, or âcapitalism without oversight is piracy.â
And really doubt itâs either of those.
