My question is to the Prime Minister. Australians want truth-in-political-advertising laws. The bills I've tabled will require AI content watermarking, establish an ethical political advertising code and an independent political advertising standards board to regulate complaints, and introduce penalties for misleading and deceptive political content. At the 2025 election voters saw fake signs, false affiliations, AI content in Goldstein and politically motivated complaints to the NACC, then used in political advertising to imply wrongdoing. When will the government act to protect our elections?
