Truck Ads Targeting Premier Declared Illegal | Perth News
Description
A controversial truck plastered with “Ditch the Witch” billboards targeting Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has been pulled off the road after police issued a defect notice — the ads were deemed non-compliant and had even once promoted a brothel. The campaign’s financier, Franco Puleo, claims it’s about Premier Allan’s perceived lack of accountability. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the ads as sexist and compared them to the abuse Julia Gillard faced, warning such attacks risk real violence. Premier Allan also called the ads sexist and vowed not to stand by while women leaders are targeted — especially as the Victorian election looms. Authorities are now taking such public attacks seriously, requiring the truck’s driver to undergo inspection.
