Possum Placards
The Bay Chronicle has this wonderful photo of three possums and a hare campaigning for Wayne Brown. Mr Brown does not know who is behind this – he must have an enthusiastic supporter or a critic who is being too subtle.
Of course the possums could be prosecuted for having an election placard which does not have an authorisation statement. In future they may also need a financial agent and will need to sign a statutory declaration!

Perhaps they’re going for the anti-myxomatosis vote.

Is he wanting to ban the use of 1080?

“Of course the possums could be prosecuted for having an election placard which does not have an authorisation statement.”
David, are you saying that under current rules if I want to share with the world my opinion on who people should vote for via a sign in my own front yard, I need to include an authorisation statement or risk prosecution?

I think he’s saying Wayne Brown’s supporters are stuffed.
And it seems that the hare is a nazi.

Ben – under current law you require an authorisation statement to advocate a vote for a person. Under the new law you need an authorisation just to state your opinion on any issue which a party has taken a stance on.

I think the animal with it’s paw up in the air is actually a rabbit – not that that is either here nor there…
