Exclusive: A fundraising blast by Labor shows how the war for votes is heating up online as Australians turn to the internet for help deciding who to back on Saturday | nickbonyhady
Labor is begging for funds from its supporters so that it can beat the Liberals to the top of Google search results, where it claims the Coalition is running misleading ads attacking its policies.
On Monday Conservative lobby group Advance Australia agreed to pause an ad campaign that depicted independent candidates David Pocock and Zali Steggall revealing Greens imagery after the commission threatened legal action for allegedly misleading or deceiving voters. “I don’t want to repeat what these ads are saying because, frankly, they’re not worth your time – but you should know they’re pretty deceptive,” Light wrote in the email, which requests a range of donation values up to $64.
“It is disappointing that Labor continues to deceive voters and those whom it seeks to raise funds from,” he said, pointing to other Labor ads where remarks from Prime Minister Scott Morrison are taken out of context and “non-existent” cuts to Medicare are claimed. Vromen said where once political groups asked for these donations with largely optimistic messages, increasingly they were saying “give us more money so we can fight the other side, because they represent this danger to Australian politics and society”.
