“I’ve put a note there now, reminding whoever that elections are debates not wars, and please would everyone respect each other’s legally-located signs,” Cr Intemann told News Of The Area.

Election signs should only be erected on a private property boundary with the owner’s permission, and not on the footpath or on public land, trees, power poles etc.

“Every election has at least one clown who puts signs out willy-nilly, which is disrespectful to everyone who is trying to work within the rules, and hardly an endorsement for fair play if elected,” Cr Intemann said.

Cr Intermann is an incumbent Port Macquarie-Hastings councillor, having served five terms over a period of more than 20 years.
