Excerpt about Zoe
Independent candidate Zoe Daniel has won the Goldstein sign stoush, with the Victorian supreme court ruling her supporters have not displayed her signs prematurely.
On Wednesday Justice John Dixon declared that displaying the signs for a period of less than three months does not contravene Bayside City Council rules despite the fact the election has not been called.
He restrained the council from taking action against those displaying election signs unless they remain up for more than three months or more than 14 days after the federal election.
Daniel welcomed the result, advising supporters who had been waiting for the judgment they were “free to put your signs up”.
