CDP targets Chinese without authorisation

The Christian Democratic Party is looking at the possibility of gaining a place in the Senate in NSW, and it could be because of a targeted campaign to Sydney’s Chinese-speaking community. The party has used the Chinese-language social media platform WeChat to speak directly to voters, warning them not to vote for the Labor Party because of its stand on marriage equality and the Safe Schools program. The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Fred Nile’s party was behind the messages but that they weren’t authorised because they had been created by supporters from Chinese churches. We understand that complaints might be made about this Chinese how-to-vote card, which also targets Labor over Safe Schools and does not carry an authorisation.
