I hope we see an update on this. Attack ads are bad enough when they're properly authorised so people can at least sort of decide for themselves whether to disregard on the basis of obvious bias. Illegal unauthorised attack ads are absolutely appalling, and I hope the LNP supporters who did this are seriously punished.

MODERATORS
More than 47,000 flyers were distributed in the Sydney electorate of Wentworth, held by the Teal independent and the former seat of Malcolm Turnbull.
[…]
The ABC reported that the content accused her of being weak on antisemitism.
47,000 pamphlets delivered to 47,000 houses is a fairly significant undertaking and investment of resources.
What possible reason could some large group or organisation have to mass produce fake attack ads against someone not pro-Israel enough?
Saw a mobile billboard "vote liberal and you'll get 25c off fuel", what a fucking joke.
Really? Lol Jesus Christ. I'm starting to think all political advertising should be illegal, I'm over it this election. Those Trumpets and Liberals ads have caused me to change the work radio station.
