This is really interesting....and why initiatives like the Cheek Media, Purple Pingers, Punters Politics and even the #SundayShot are so important in our small market.

As the last Parliamentary sitting week of the year begins, it is still legal to lie in a political ad at a federal level.

The ACT and SA have both shown it can be done.
