INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES SUPPORT THE ABOLISHMENT OF VOTE 1 POSTER’S!
If councils due to road safety concerns ban Posters and signs on our roadways due to safety concerns, how dare our representatives disrespect road safety for nothing but self-promotion?
Local Councils are employed to serve the community, yet they also join in this disgusting practice, allowing permits to political parties to flout laws put in place to protect the community and road safety in general.
Making matters worse is the fact so many of these Vote 1 posters, will be erected in direct defile of the rules and regulations put in place for their safe erection.
Each and Every Year hundreds of these posters are confiscated by our local councils for illegal erection, I would love to see how many of the parties involved receive a fine under the local guidelines, if a local business operator was to ignore such laws, I am sure the fine would be issued with in hours.
With Road safety a supposed major concern to our State and Federal Government’s, how dare they ignore their own findings when it benefits them?
I will personally not erect any of these annoying signs myself, and I would much prefer that our government took the initiative and banned this outrageous practice all together, if it was about the creation of an informed electorate, which I doubt, I am sure the media could take up that cause, or the electoral commissioner could fulfill his role of informing the electorate by the production of a how and who to vote for guide.
During my campaigning I will NOT erect posters, which have the ability to distract drivers and interfere with road safety initiatives, and it is about time our many candidates putting the community’s safety first as well.

Obligatory :
I seem to recall you joining the chorus of complaints about the reforms Atko wanted to make to the SA electoral laws. Were you aware one of the changes he wanted was to ban corflutes? Because doing so would disadvantage minor parties and independents?
Ahhh the spelling and grammar police, so obviously the content other wise was OK…lmao
Ahhh the convenient ignoring of criticism of content.
Why don’t you just come out and say that you can’t afford them and it’s unfair that other people have more money for their campaign? That’s what you want to say.
Two tips for you :
One – Do them in black and white, or black and another bold colour (ala David Winderlich’s black and orange in the state election). Printing in two colours is considerably cheaper than printing in CYMK.
Two – Get someone to proofread these releases for you before sending them. They make you look amateurish at best.
How many corflutes did you have for the state election?
Winderlich’s were pretty revolting though. Maybe a colour other than orange. Or just better design. Or both.
When one fights for community safety, dare they sell out for self promotion
None for the State by the way, I have studied road safety, something all candidates should have on their agenda, selling out this early hhmmmmm
