Australia’s election body won’t judge ad truth, but seeks power to remove unauthorised online political posts.
Australia’s election watchdog, the AEC, says voters should judge political ad truthfulness, not regulators, to maintain impartiality.
Acting commissioner Jeff Pope told parliament the AEC won’t act as an arbiter of truth, warning such a role could breed bias.
While the AEC only verifies ad authorisation, not content, it found 1,020 electoral law breaches in 2,736 social media posts during the 2025 campaign.
Pope urged Parliament to grant the AEC stronger powers to remove unauthorised online campaign material, especially during high-pressure election periods, to protect electoral integrity amid growing social media influence.
