NSW Nationals backflip on 'dirty tactic' during hotly contested Upper Hunter by-election

"Hand back their domain names and assure the people of the Upper Hunter that the Nationals candidate is also going to have a positive campaign."Ms Catley welcomed the move, saying it showed "common sense had prevailed".Labor candidate Jeff Drayton vows to run a positive election campaign.

"I think the people of the Upper Hunter really want us just to get on and deal with the issues," Mr Drayton said. "I think they've had enough of candidates or parties behaving like we've seen the National Party behave in the last week." A campaign spokesman for Mr Layzell previously said the state party office was responsible for the websites and he did not condone the behaviour.

You should not forget that itvis the present govt that has cist you jobs in the coal industry bc of their vassal conduct bowing to US policy

'Dirty tactic'? Isn't it still illegal? How are they not being held to account over this?
