There are rules about elections and politicians at election time, there are very strong, clear rules, but that\u2019s not our job.<\/p>\n \u201cOur job is to ensure, within the rules of due impartiality, there is plenty of choice and freedom of expression on the airwaves. That means some people will always be offended by stuff but there\u2019s no rule that says you can\u2019t be offended.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
