The Yes23 campaign has been asked to keep signs for the Yes vote coloured in purple and white away from Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) signage over fears they could "potentially mislead voters".
Poor form on their part IMO, just as it was when the Liberals pulled a similar stunt with signage a few years back.
Apparently the same guy that did the purple Liberal signs, Simon Frost, is the Yes23 campaign director. Explains why things are such a shambles; when was the last time anyone from the Coalition ran a positive campaign?
IIRC they got told it could have been misleading and they shouldn't have done it - but only after the election was over. I don't remember anything of substance actually happening after that.
They didn’t need to do this. The offical AEC signs “treat people with respect” signs are basically “Yes” signs anyway.
