The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is investigating the distribution of nearly 50,000 unauthorised pamphlets targeting independent MP Allegra Spender ahead of the federal election.
The pamphlets, described as false, misleading, and offensive, were anonymously distributed in the Sydney electorate of Wentworth. Spender has condemned the material as a negative and unlawful smear campaign. The AEC's probe aims to identify those responsible for breaching electoral laws.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about misinformation and dirty tactics in Australian election campaigns.
