Greens Labor ordered to take down posters

idlewhile — Sat, 28 Feb 2015 01:08:09 GMT

The three NSW electricity providers have advised that any election posters placed on electricity poles by state election candidates are illegal.

Furthermore, the electricity providers have advised that they will remove any unauthorised election posters and will bill the political party which had put them up there.

Whilst all Liberal candidates have been asked to ensure that none of their election posters are placed on any electricity poles – we have been made aware of a number of occurrences where Labor and Greens candidates have simply ignored the ban.

If you see any unauthorised Labor, Green or union election posters up on an electricity pole, please report it to us as soon as possible. Please email polewatch@nsw.liberal.org.au with date, time and location details (including closest intersection details), as well as a photo if possible, and we will report the breach to the relevant authorities.

Not only are we subjected to outright lies by Union ads we are now subjected to the most outrageous lies in a phone poll I have ever done.

Typical greens, especially in NSW

One rule for them, one for everybody else and we don't want you to be able to take part
In your preferred activity because it goes against our ideology.

The "your rights at work" posters, there's still some on poles and that was in 2007.

Frankly the lies the unions are spreading like "privatisation of public hospitals" "Tafe" and all "electricty providers"?

Complete and utter lies.

That's so funny.

The govt, therefore the libs own the poles and they say no political posters can be placed on them. Then oooh, let's get some mileage out of this by attacking our opponents integrity by making threats instead of sharing the rules we set.

I see you and others 'trying" to get mileage and score points out of even smaller things
But I suppose you work on the philosophy of when it comes to abbott, anything goes.

Dont criticise others for doing exactly what you do.

The fact it gets up your nose is very good.

Rubbish and not correct in any way, lies just like the lies NSW labor and the criminal unions are running. Proud of yourself?

I will be reporting any posters round my way, every one. 🙂

Why does everything have to be made into a personal attack?

Note, the first post is a comment on the story in the OP.

The next 2 are an attack on the poster for expressing an opinion that differs to their own.

Why is too hard to discuss the topic instead of attacking the poster?

Not attacks.

Just pointing out hypocrisy.

This billboard poster is probably more effective anyway and them Govt can't order them to be taken down.

They are attacks as they are not addresseing the topic in anyway. Abbott style.

vicr3000 — Sat, 28 Feb 2015 01:52:46 GMT

The govt can order them down if they see fit.

It also only take a quick swish of glue and slap of paper to cover it up,
No ne the wiser.

I think they can't shut down freedom of speech no matter how hard they try.

the posters will probably end up being put somewhere else. The power companies are state govt. owned in NSW aren't they? From what I've been reading there is some opposition to privitisation in NSW, so I assume that's what the posters are about

Remember Bill Posters Will Be Prosecuted?

That law of any poster being attached to poles has been around for all my living memory (be it political/rock concert/local event).

Political signs that people put up in their front yards annoy me - when I'm looking for the elusive Garage Sale address

And there was a Craig Thomson one in our area up until recently.

DEB.

OMG... lol it's nothing to do with FOS, it's political propaganda and advertising which they are ILLEGALLY putting on power poles. But I suspect you already knew that and to try to link it in with FOC, well! that's a laughh coming from the left.

Re: Greens Labor ordered to take down posters

vicr3000 — Sat, 28 Feb 2015 02:11:27 GMT

Of course their is opposition to privatisation. And that is before you even get to the ideology driven objections
And we'll object to anything the Gv't wants to do.

Not sure I 100 per cent agree with Privatisation.

Re: Greens Labor ordered to take down posters

debra9275 — Sat, 28 Feb 2015 02:11:37 GMT

What's FOC?

You just reminded me of a video of some LNP woman caught on CCTV footage, pulling down labor signs and loading them into her car 😃

I guess a little argy bargy goes on with political signage before elections, yes very much to do with freedom of speech, if they're not allowed to put signs on poles, they just put them somewhere else, that's pretty obvious isn't it?

I think he meant FOS.

Its best not to take things down, you dress up like a worker in overalls, ladders, mop, ute etc and go around plastering new posters on them.
People just think you are dong your job.
