The All Progressives Congress has slammed INEC for acting too little, too late by issuing a warning on illegal public political broadcast and campaign, saying INECs belated action is highly suspicious.

In a statement issued in London on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said INECs action, coming after the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan have been campaigning endlessly for the 2015 elections, can only be to the disadvantage of other candidates and political parties.

Is it a ploy by INEC to give undue advantage to the PDP and its adopted sole presidential candidate, President Jonathan, in next years elections? it queried

APC wondered where INEC was when the so-called Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria group was organising noisy rallies across the country, attended by government officials and designed to benefit President Jonathan and his party, the PDP

The party also expressed shock that INEC has been in a deep slumber since the so-called Protectors of Nigerias Posterity have been running adverts on television solely for the benefit of President Jonathan in next years elections.

When did INEC become aware that these actions are illegal, considering that Section 221 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which INEC quoted in its warning letter, says no association, other than a political party, shall canvas for votes for any candidate at any election or contribute to the funds of any political party or to the election expenses of any political candidate at an election, it queried.

APC said what TAN has been doing all along is to canvas for votes for President Jonathan, in a clear violation of the Constitution as well as the Electoral Act, which bans political campaigns until 90 days before election.

Our party, joined by well-meaning Nigerians, had publicly alerted INEC to these campaigns and the fact those behind them are breaking the law, but INEC merely responded with some unbelievable sophistry. Now that those illegal campaigns have run for several months, INEC suddenly awoke from its slumber to issue a warning on illegal campaign.

This is unbecoming of an election umpire that expects to be taken seriously, an umpire that is expected not only to be fair but to be seen as such, and one that knows its onions. This caution by INEC is coming too little, too late, itsaid.

Not happy: Canberra Liberal Brendan Smyth says the government should reconsider its funding of the production. Photo: Rohan Thomson

A $19,000 ACT governmentgrant for a theatre production called Kill Climate Deniers is outrageous and must be reconsidered, the Canberra Liberals say.

The ACT Oppositionand right-wing commentator Andrew Bolt lined up to condemn the grant, part of the latest round of ArtsACT funding, calling it an outrage" and demanding the government reconsider its funding.

But ArtsACT director David Whitney said the authors had explicitly stated in their application they did not advocate or believe in violence of any kind, including for political reasons.

According to the description on the play's website, it is about a group of heavily armed eco-activists who break into a major Australian institution and hold the occupants hostage.

It says in the play their demands are an immediate cessation of all carbon emissions and the immediate transformation of the Australian economy away from any reliance on fossil fuels.

"In short, what would it take to actually stop climate change, dead in its tracks? The answer is: guns. And lots of them," the website reads.

It comes after Ms Burch came under fire for allowing the Fringe Festival to include a performerin a Nazi-style uniform and wearing a Hitler moustache who stripped down to her underwear. ACT Opposition Leader Jeremy Hanson called on Ms Burch to resign as minister after the incident.

Bolt said he didn't see how the ACT government could justify spending taxpayers' money on the latest production.
