Monique Ryan's Husband Apologizes for Removing Liberal Campaign Sign

Peter Jordan, the husband of independent MP Monique Ryan, was filmed removing a campaign sign for Liberal candidate Amelia Hamer in Melbourne, which he later admitted was a mistake. He defended his actions by claiming the sign was illegally placed on public land and stated that he should have reported the issue to the local council instead of taking it down. The incident, which was captured on video, led to an exchange between Jordan and the sign's owner, who attempted to reclaim the sign and questioned its legality. Both Ryan and Jordan issued apologies for the incident, which has drawn attention to the tensions in the lead-up to the upcoming federal election. Critics have suggested that Jordan's actions reflect poorly on political integrity, particularly given his wife's status as a Teal independent MP. The situation has sparked discussions around campaign signage regulations and the conduct of political spouses during elections.
