Australian Prime-Minister Sends Spam

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the getting-the-word-out dept.

Boricle writes "The Australian Prime Minister has been personally funding the sending of political spam to the members of his electorate. The spam has been sent under contract by his son's company of whom he is 'very proud.' Political Spam is permitted under Australian Spam Legislation."

  1. Yet another reason not to vote for Howard. by jonwil · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is yet another reason not to vote for Howard.
    Not that I need any more reasons.
    Not after going into IRAQ without support from the australian people to look for weapons that dont exist and terrorists that were never in IRAQ (despite the claims of links between IRAQ and WMDs/Al Queda)
    Not after increasing the HECS bills that UNI students have to pay.
    Not after caving in to big US multinationals and "harmonizing" Australian IP laws to be more like those found in the United States of Big Corperations.
    Not after supporting the FTA which is totally one-sided (in the americans favor of course).
    Not after being in bed with Bush.

    Besides, Micheal Moore called Howard an idiot on National TV. If that isnt a reason not to vote for the idiot, I dont know what is :)

    Sure, Latham may be supporting some of these things too but he is supporting less of them than howard (and has stated at least once that he would undo some of the changes like the changes to HECS).
