Morning mail: UAP ads removed, FOI laws breached, David Stratton’s top flix

Wednesday: Tech giant Google has pulled the majority of United Australia party's YouTube ads for allegedly violating its policies. Plus: a film critic's favourite movies

Good morning. Most of the United Australia party's videos have been pulled from YouTube for allegedly violating the tech giant's advertising policy. The prime minister's department breached FOI laws over the release of documents relating to Brittany Higgins. And David Stratton tells us about his beloved films.

Three out of every four video ads the United Australia party has posted on YouTube since late September have been pulled by Google for allegedly violating the tech giant's advertising policies, according to Google's transparency report. It is not clear what the removed videos contained or which of Google's policies they are alleged to have violated. Since former the Liberal MP Craig Kelly joined the UAP in late August, the party has spent $2.684m on 25 ads run on YouTube.
