Brothel Owner Funds Attack Ad Against Victorian Premier

A billboard truck displaying "Ditch the Witch" and an edited image of Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan sparked bipartisan outcry on Friday. Franco Puleo, owner of the Gotham City brothel, funded the $105,000 campaign with other local business owners. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called it sexist. The slogan echoes language used against former PM Julia Gillard 15 years ago—raising questions about whether such attacks ever truly fade from politics.
