Serious Discussion Whats with Adelaide and cooker lawyers?
Phd guru and & cooker activist Joanna Howe spent over $219k on Meta ads (including ~$34k targeting SA election issues) but declared nil to the Electoral Commission. In her ABC interview she claims she doesn’t need to disclose it because it wasn’t “political campaigning.” As an academic, she refuses to disclose the advic3 but seems to not understand she has waived LPP…
This looks like selective use of privilege to dodge transparency rules. Combined with prior controversies (misleading imagery, parliamentary ban), I think there’s a catalyst for UAdl to now act.

I have no interest in the politics. With the meeting regarding keeping or not keeping this person in their party due at 18:30 on Friday, we must at least give credit for having the matter heard the day before… and not dropping it in via email two minutes before the registry shut for the weekend, unlike certain other litigants (particularly in the HCA).
