Quote:
On election day candidates, political parties and others must not post any new material on websites, which includes election related posts on social media such as Facebook or Twitter.
Existing election or referendum material does not have to be removed from a website on election day as long as the material is only made available to people who voluntarily access it and the website is not advertised on election day.
To avoid complaints on election day we would recommend that you change the security settings for Facebook pages that candidates, parties or third parties have so that other persons cannot post messages on election day before 7pm.
Posts on Facebook or Twitter that are not connected in any way with the election or the referendum can of course be posted on election day.

Post at your own risk, and be prepared for moderation by yours truly. Crazy situation but what can you do, it's the 21st century but the laws haven't really noticed. Were this site hosted offshore I'd be a bit more cavalier but I don't want any shit at the TelstraClear end.
