Anthony Albanese and glamorous podcaster Abbie Chatfield are investigated by the electoral commission over dirty political tactics one month before Aussies head to the polls

A series of posts featuring podcast episodes from reality star turned influencer Abbie Chatfield will be investigated by the Australian Electoral Commission.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Greens leader Adam Bandt have both shared several social media posts featuring snippets of their interviews on Chatfields podcast Its A Lot.

Mr Albanese shared three posts that will be subject to investigation while his Greens counterpart shared four. 

While the episodes featured both politicians light-heartedly speaking about their policies, and taking jabs at Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, the AEC faces the serious task of setting a precedent for new medias role in electoral campaigns.

If the AEC finds the social media posts are political content, they will be legally required to carry an authorisation message, as seen on television.

A spokesman for the AEC explained traditional media is often excluded from the authorisation message requirement as electoral matter does not include the reporting of news and current affairs, or any genuine editorial content.

There are many circumstances in which the content produced by social media influencers would meet this definition and be excluded from authorisation requirements, in the same way as editorial or opinion content produced by traditional media would also be exempt, he told News Corp.

When it comes to any content on social media, the AECs advice is always if in doubt, authorise.

The use of social media as a tool for politicians to gain popularity with young voters was highlighted by Chatfield on Monday.

The podcaster shared her thoughts on Liberal Senator Jane Humes claim influencers could be cashing in on electoral campaigns.

Weve seen MPs do collaborative posts with influencers, Senator Hume told a Senate Estimates hearing.

There are some influencers potentially being paid to produce political social media.

Chatfield slammed Senator Humes comments on her podcast and denied receiving any payment for her politically-charged posts. 

So funny the Liberal Party just cant comprehend maybe younger people, AKA influencers, just f***ing hate the Liberal Party, she said.

Their only answer is well, were they paid? I was not paid to post for the Greens.

Theres this like moral panic about influencers in politics as well, this whole idea influencers cant be trusted with something as high brow as politics.

Chatfield has been a outspoken supporter for the Greens and regularly encourages her 532,000 followers to vote for the minor party in the upcoming federal election, which will be held for May 3.

One of her biggest endorsements for the Greens was when she hosted Mr Bandts debut DJ gig last month.

The show was held at inner-city Fitzroy venue Night Cat and attracted 500 fans.

Tickets for the event reportedly sold out in less than 24 hours.
