says he’s “perplexed” at how two advertisements appeared in a regional newspaper during last year’s federal election without the proper authorisations.
But McQuestin said he knew the electoral commission had sent a notice about the advertisements to Font PR, the firm contracted to the Victorian division of the Liberal Party during the election campaign who had responsibility for overseeing and designing them. “If one is to access the electronic copies of the relevant versions of the newspaper now, the particulars are prominently displayed. My client has recollections of versions of these advertisements with the particulars prominently placed.”The court heard the electoral commissioner alleges the advertisements published in theeither failed to contain the authorisation or, if they were present, they were either illegible or not prominent.
