Funnily enough, I received something similar yesterday from the Greens - it was all about logging in catchment areas and nowhere did it say who it was from, but we happened to receive three bits of junk mail from the Greens yesterday (despite our "No Junk Mail" sticker) and comparing them, it wasn't hard to identify the source.
I'm sad that this election has seen the ALP and the Greens at each other's throats, both behaving badly, spreading untruths about preference deals and throwing what they stand for to the winds. We should be working together not playing these dirty games.
I have one from the Liberal party thats slagging off the greens. At first I thought it was a flyer for the Greens, Then it appeared to be a flyer for Labour because it started being critical of the greens and mentioned Labour. I looked at the back and in very very small lettering was a mention of the start liberal party.
So basically they are all unethical lying cheating bastards (at the party level if not the personal level) and I have serious issues voting for any of them as none of them have the "I'm going to do things right" charisma that I want to see in a politician.
Only a pamphlet? I must have ended up on the Labor mailing list or something. So far this month I've received four letters from the local Labour candidate and one from Peter Garrett.
Not that I'm going to be voting Liberal either. If the Dems have a candidate I'll vote for them. Otherwise the Greens will get mine purely as a best of a bad lot.
IIRC an individual has to authorise a political statement, not a "legal person".
My letterbox has a fear-mongering glossy leaflet authorised by J. Sheezel of 104 Exhibition St. Nowhere in the leaflet does it mention it's from the Tories.
And then the Exclusive Brethren are taking out full newspaper ads dissing the Greens without naming them or themselves. It is interesting how LJ is helping out a lot of this behaviour some of us might not otherwise notice.
