Overview
- The Liberal Party has filed for a Victorian Supreme Court injunction against Boroondara Council's enforcement of a one-sign-per-candidate rule at a Kew pre-polling station.
- The council removed dozens of Amelia Hamer's campaign signs, citing pedestrian safety concerns and non-compliance with the rule despite prior warnings.
- The Liberals claim the rule violates the implied constitutional freedom of political communication, with a court ruling expected later today.
- Boroondara Council maintains that the restrictions were implemented to ensure public safety and accessibility, denying any political motivation behind their actions.
- This legal dispute is the latest in a contentious Kooyong campaign, marked by sign-related controversies, candidate disclosures, and strategic maneuvering in a tightly contested electorate.
