Don't they use the same image and style as the billboards they used during the last election? You could make an argument that they are parodying the actual green party billboards.

I don't know how strong that argument would be though.

It is pretty weak.

If you were going to do something like that. You would have to assume that they have been using the same design for decades. You would be making a parody of their design skills, it wouldn't really be satire.

E.g. have the same style, with text like "our policies are progressive, but out style is conservative"

It doesn't matter. Law doesn't matter. Ethics don't matter. Morals don't matter.

What matters is that the billboards are up, the media covered it, it spread on social media and half the country now believes the greens will abolish the police if they are in government.

It's hilarious watching people pretend these people care about anything other than hurting the greens and labour. They will break any law and cross any line to do it.
