A LIBERAL Party poster seen at early voting centres around Monash quotes selectively and misleadingly from an interview with independent Deb Leonard published in the Bass Coast Post in 2022.
“I also (previously) joined the Greens ...” according to the poster, part of the Liberal Party narrative that Teal candidates are Greens in disguise.
To clarify, Leonard’s full quote in the 2022 interview was:
“I’ve always been interested in politics but I’m not really party political. I supported a Liberal candidate in the state election in 2006. I also joined the Greens but I also felt they didn’t quite align with what I wanted from a representative.”
The Liberal Party poster has been seen at Warragul and Moe early voting centres but not in Leonard’s home territory of Bass Coast.
