    > * Advance Australia’s “Election News” Facebook page has been using old news articles that paint the Greens in a negative light in a months-long ad campaign.
    > * Facebook’s parent company Meta told the ABC that they were “unable to locate any violating content” in the posts.
    > * Queensland University of Technology professor Daniel Angus has called on the federal government to better regulate ads on Facebook.

  2. I am not seeing anything in the articles they are pushing that actually changes the dates, just not printing them. Isn’t it linking to the articles so people can see the date and make up their own mind?

    At some point it just becomes assertive criticism of the other side. Linking to an ABC article might even be the most honest campaigning that I have ever seen.

    It has to be better than the LNP “hole in your budget” ad from the last election when Labor had a funded budget and no new taxes.
