Zoe Daniel’s campaign has launched a supreme court challenge against a Victorian council ruling that the independent candidate’s signs cannot be erected before the federal election is called.
On Friday, the Bayside city council backflipped on an earlier ruling, instead finding in favour of the Liberal MP Tim Wilson, who complained that Daniel’s signs had been put up prematurely. The council has now begun threatening residents with fines if they don’t “remove or completely cover” the signs.
