Auckland mayoral candidate Vic Crone is using Dan Carter as a defence for putting up her own billboards.
Billboards advertising Dan Carter in boxer shorts are being cited by Auckland mayoral candidate Vic Crone as a defence for putting up her own billboards.
Ms Crone and another mayoral candidate, Penny Bright, say the Bill of Rights overrides a bylaw which prohibits election signs until August 6, nine weeks
out from the local body elections on October 9.
"I don't consider our billboards any more distracting than a billboard of Dan Carter in his boxers," Ms Crone said.
The businesswoman unveiled two billboards in the CBD and Parnell in March.
At the time, Auckland electoral officer Dale Ofsoske said in his view the billboards were an election sign.
