澳洲选举机构不会评判真相, 而是寻求权力取消未经授权的在线政治职位。 Australia’s election body won’t judge ad truth, but seeks power to remove unauthorised online political posts.

澳大利亚的选举监督者AEC(AEC)说,选民应该判断政治上的真实性,而不是监管者,以保持公正性。 Australia’s election watchdog, the AEC, says voters should judge political ad truthfulness, not regulators, to maintain impartiality. 代理专员Jeff Pope告诉议会, AEC不会担任真相仲裁人, 警告这样的角色可能会滋生偏见。 Acting commissioner Jeff Pope told parliament the AEC won’t act as an arbiter of truth, warning such a role could breed bias. 虽然AEC只核实授权,而不是内容,但它在2025年运动期间发现2 736个社会媒体职位中有1 020项违反选举法的行为。 While the AEC only verifies ad authorisation, not content, it found 1,020 electoral law breaches in 2,736 social media posts during the 2025 campaign. 波普敦促议会授予 AEC 更强的权力，以删除未经授权的在线竞选材料，尤其是在高压选举期间，以在社交媒体影响力日益增强的情况下保护选举公正性。 Pope urged Parliament to grant the AEC stronger powers to remove unauthorised online campaign material, especially during high-pressure election periods, to protect electoral integrity amid growing social media influence.
