It’s a cheeky piece of opportunism after The Nats’ Katrina Hodgkinson last year withdrew her candidacy, preventing an ugly three-cornered contest against Liberal Pru Goward.
The Nats claim the leaflet rips off their party’s branding and is a deliberate ploy to woo Nats voters into the ‘Country Labor’ fold.
Commonwealth and State laws prohibit the publication of untruthful and misleading paraphernalia.
What’s most concerning is that certain individuals weren’t consulted about being linked to the leaflet.
Indeed, if the leaflet has “twisted” Labor’s dealings with local people like Guy Milson, then Dr Stephens and her party’s conduct is unprofessional to say the least.
