Ian Jones campaign withdraws campaign ad ...
4350water blog posting leads to the Ian Jones campaign pulling one of their ads from youtube.com.
See - Ian Jones ad removed from youtube.com.
The embarrassing error in the ad lead to its withdrawal with a new ad appearing.
See - Ian Jones redoes his ad.
They also took the opportunity to tidy up the authorisation required for campaign ads - the previous one was not correct.
The other ad still doesn't comply - you can compare them here:
This ad complies - Complying authorisation.
This ad doesn't - Non-complying authorisation.
The Ian Jones campaign should thank 4350water blog for pointing out their rather amateur mistakes before they receive too much TV coverage.
Wonder whether Ian will be billed for the ad changes? Perhaps he should ask for a refund.
4350water blog thinks Ian Jones faces a uphill battle to convince 60,000+ Toowoomba voters as well as those in shires other than Clifton to vote for someone they've never heard of and someone who doesn't appear to be going to be a fulltime Mayor for the region.
Amateur mistakes in ads just makes that task all the harder.
4350water blog will be reviewing all the candidates' ads so Ian shouldn't feel he is being treated unfairly. He just happens to be the first candidate out of the blocks and onto the airwaves.
As he said "I'm starting early - there's a big job to be done."
The first task might be to take your campaign manager out to the woodshed and whack him with a piece of 4 by 2 ...

This is a disaster start for Jones. Continually knocked off message by having to reedit commercials. (Does anyone know what he stands for apart from amalgamations and running his businesses?)

Having Taylor for mayor would be a lot like having Sarkozy for President, just without the book deal.

Aussie politics is funny. In the US, even the hint of a scandal would sideline a politician. It's different in Australia. Look at past labor politicians who have fathered children with someone other than their wife. A former PM - whose mistress and offspring were sent to Queensland to be put on the premier's staff. Two Queensland premiers - the mistress and child of one were sent to Tasmania. The media doesn't report it but everyone knows it's going on. Wonder if Aussie politics will ever take a shift towards the US where a politician's morals are as important as their policies.
