Not that it nesassarily excuses it but governments spending public money on partisan advertising is hardly new. The federal conservatives were probably the worst offenders (to the tune of $750 million during their decade of power). I don't recall a lot of outrage about it on this forum at the time (well, maybe just from the liberal partisans like me!).
