The recent Federal election reflected an appalling waste of money and generation of waste by all parties, but principally the major ones which clambered for superiority by producing more and more signage.
Do they really think that more signs means more votes?
The government should enact new election campaigning rules restricting all parties to display no more than five regular 900 x 600 corflutes (or equivalent) at polling booths on the pre-polling and polling days only – not before.
This would save a large amount of material going to landfill as corflutes cannot be recycled as well as giving volunteers more time to dedicate to informing voters of policies and less frustration from voters faced with excessive waste.
