Victoria’s auditor general found the ‘Our Fair Share’ advertisements used a ‘positive tone’ in statements about the state government while those about ‘Canberra’ were negative. “Members of the public were likely to find the language in some of the advertisements to be particularly emotive. One of the television advertisements included the line ‘don’t let Canberra short-change our kids.’”
“The auditor general’s entitled to their view, [but the] government believes we complied with all relevant matters and we wouldn’t hesitate to run that campaign again.”The auditor general found two advertisements from the $11.5m campaign for the Big Build also breached the law as they promoted the works before providing information in the public interest about disruptions.
