Description

ACT is calling for an end to taxpayer-funded election ads. 

They’re calling for the Government to consider ceasing the “broadcasting allocation”, given to election campaigns to buy television and radio ads. 

MP Todd Stephenson suggested it in the Justice Select Committee’s inquiry into the 2023 election, and the report was made public this week.  

He told Ryan Bridge the taxpayer doesn’t need to be forking out just over $4 million every year for political parties to pay for their TV and radio ads.
