Jeez, considering it was on page 4 of virtually this State's newspaper, I didn't exactly think it was the world's best kept secret and might be of some interest to commenters here, as distinct from over at Tim Blair's perhaps? Anyway Frank's delvings show that it's now impossible to stop these sorts of sites, which now makes a total mockery of our election advertising laws and a damn good reason to scrap such pointless red tape and the public servants that service and pretend to police it. “Obby, a very coalition-esque response – post a link, deny responsibility for link while link in question remains plain for all to see.”

As many of you may be aware, that little enterprise blew up in the face of the Libs when not only did they place a link to it on the Liberals Victoria site, but even gave the authorising address as their Exhibition Street bunker. My money is that someone has tried to steer around the various witch's hats of the Electoral Act to pull a similar stunt this time - except that they employed a far less competent author, and still manage to paint a giant political cross-hair on the damned thing!
