A regional television network repeatedly breached its licence when it ran campaign ads for Liberal MP Dan Tehan during the advertising blackout days before the federal election.
Community organisation Voices of Wannon, which endorsed Dyson in the election, said it was disappointed but not surprised by the findings. “Mr Tehan’s campaign was relentlessly negative and desperate, making all sorts of funding promises which will never come true,” vice president Genevieve Grant claimed. “The people of Wannon tell us they don’t want a career politician who only represents their party. They want someone who genuinely represents Wannon.”
