Lawyers for the challengers in the Federal Court today displayed reproductions of Chinese-language corflutes displayed at polling places in both electorates on election day on May 18, which when translated say the "correct" way to vote is to put the Liberals first.Last month, the Australian Electoral Commission rejected suggestions the use of purple, Chinese-language signs misled voters in two Melbourne seats at the federal election.
But the AEC denied the posters were likely to mislead or deceive voters into thinking they were official AEC instructions.

Mobile speed camera signs are 'working' but more police on roads is required | Sky News AustraliaNRMA’s Peter Khoury says mobile speed camera signs are “working the way they should be” as the NSW government will raise more than $200 million this year from the signs. \n\nThe New South Wales government is reconsidering scrapping warning signs for mobile speed cameras.\n\nThe NSW Auditor General wants warning signs ahead of mobile speed cameras removed and have argued they do little to prevent drivers from speeding. \n\n“The NRMA has said all along the most effective role to change behaviour is by having more police on the roads,” he said. \n\n“Cameras have a role to play, we think they should come with warning signs but ultimately NRMA are huge supporters of police.\n\n“There is no doubt we have to do something, the road toll is terrible and we are staring down another horrible year on our roads.\n\n“We need to look at adopting measures that can have a genuine impact, just removing signs may not necessarily do what we want it to do.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Long term road works should have cameras, so many speed through, no care for road workers or the slower cars obeying the signs So you’re booking the dim witted ones as nature intended. Cant wait for self driving cars...where will the revenue come from...poor people?
