"With South Australia in its final week of campaigning ahead of the state
election, you may have noticed while there’s been a few scandals around
mistaken identity of hospital patients and controversial candidates’ opinions,
accusations of politicians lying are muted.
That’s partly because SA elections operate under a previously little-known law
called truth in political advertising.
As governments across the world despair over misinformation turbocharged by AI
and publish guides to spot misinformation, this law has attracted renewed
interest 40 years after its adoption.
It sounds simple enough, but what is it? How is it enforced – and more
importantly, does it actually stop politicians lying?"
