Dishonest Union Ads in NSW Election.

[ladydeburg]

I have been watching for a few weeks now and was deeply concerned that the ads  being run by unions is completely dishonest. Is it legal to do this? I asked a political scientist and he said that the ads being run by unions NSW were bordering on the worst advertising he had ever seen in an election.

I was relieved when I saw the interview on channel 9 last night and Luke Foley trying to explain away the unions campaign.   was disturbed that Luke Foley saw nothing wrong in the campaign being run by unions NSW, the union that is bankrolling the Labor campaign.

All I can say is thank goodness somebody finally shone a light on it.

I'm not so sure that it is a lie though. Privatisation didn't bring any prices down in Vic. Gas and electricity is pretty expensive here.

Electricity prices have increased by roughly 50% in Qld over the last couple of years.

Well you aren't listening.

And still haven't explained what the ads are lying about.

Even the link you provided shows Baird is doing all those things the ad say. His response is not to deny any of it but not to "...listen to the scare campaign. Go for the positive vision that's going to make a difference to people's daily lives," he said.

So firstly what the union is saying about Baird selling off services and utilities is true.

And secondly, he wants us all to think this selling off is going to be a "positive" thing.

No thanks. We've seen the results in Queensland.

So no lies. No untruths.

Simply facts that some people prefer not to hear.
