My question is to the Minister for Communications. Minister, yesterday on ABC radio you disassociated politicians from the government's misinformation and disinformation bill by claiming that truth in political advertising is a matter for the AEC. However, we all know that the AEC has no jurisdiction over the honesty of political parties, politicians and political candidates. Will you now admit your statement yesterday was misleading, correct the record and commit to properly regulate truth in political advertising?
