‘Ol mate is behind ‘those’ delightful #spam text messages.

Is that national

If they get your email address you’ll be inundated with their emails and likely be signed up as a member.

grantmethestrength.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yep no doubt. That’s a risk I am willing to take to make it known that this behaviour needs to stop

wombatboy.bsky.social•13 days ago

Just sign them up for “special deals” and “ please send more details”

Is his dad a rag and bone man who lives in a junkyard?

dragonstonic.bsky.social•13 days ago

Excellent. I found his mobile number.

iznetro.bsky.social•12 days ago

I called the number that these SMSs came from. It had a message from the United Australia Party. Is that legal? For an entity representing one party identify as another?

grantmethestrength.bsky.social•12 days ago

And right on cue, just got another one from old mate Harry!

Make it stop! 😵‍💫🥴🤦‍♂️

Make sure you all let him know by email your thoughts on these unsolicited text messages

Wheres the CORRUPT AEC?
THEY SHOULD B STAMPING THIS CRAP OUT

grantmethestrength.bsky.social•12 days ago

It’s not an AEC issue I feel.

Firstly, election advertising only has to have “authorised by” which these texts do.

And secondly, there are no truth in advertising laws, so political ads say anything they like with no consequences.

Thirdly, political parties are exempt from anti spam laws.

Thanks.

Si this is the *rsehole sending those vile texts?!

grantmethestrength.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is indeed the “H” in the “authorised by H Fong”!

I think you should let him know how you feel Judi 😉

jasonsmumr.bsky.social•13 days ago

I tried, but ‘the message bank was full’. 🙄

Most parties allow you to opt out, but this lot … 😡 As soon as you delete & block each text, another one pops up.

Infuriating!

grantmethestrength.bsky.social•13 days ago

Unfortunately political parties are exempt from the anti spam act 🙄

jasonsmumr.bsky.social•13 days ago

We need to change that.

grantmethestrength.bsky.social•13 days ago

Agree, who ever ends up being by local member, and then also minister for communications, will be hearing from me after the election.

I suggest others follow suit

3wombats.bsky.social•13 days ago

He’s a spamming pest

grantmethestrength.bsky.social•13 days ago

That’s being kind!

3wombats.bsky.social•13 days ago

I’m trying out blocking the Trumpet account name.
The account all those numbers post under. 🤷🏼‍♀️I don’t know if that’s even a thing but I’m trying it anyway

grantmethestrength.bsky.social•13 days ago

I don’t think you can as it’s not coming from a ‘number’. That’s why I think a quick email to Harry to let him know is the best thing to do

3wombats.bsky.social•13 days ago

I don’t have an email address that I’m prepared to sacrifice
