Illustration for Referendums Framework Bill

If you are making an advertisement for a referendum that is also an advertisement for an election, you must follow the rules in section 204G or 204H of the 1993 Act. You must also follow the rules in section 52. This means the advertisement must meet all the requirements in both these sections.
