New "Fake News" Watchdog In Qld

An article regarding a new “fake news” watchdog in Qld.

Key points:

  • The Independent Council Election Observer will report on misleading posts within two days
  • Candidates found in error will not be forced to remove their posts, nor will there be punishment
  • Associate Professor Daniel Angus criticised the watchdog’s ability to reach the public

What a joke. Talk about a toothless tiger.

With the ACCC, ASIC, ARPA and now this one, If we get any more toothless tigers, the unis will need to add a course for veterinary students to study dentures for toothless tigers.

The whole scheme qualifies as fake news. Almost makes the Victorian Government look good

Looks like the US could use a fake election news watchdog.
