Two ‘Illegal Boats’ Were Apparently Intercepted Entering Aus Today And The Timing Is … Curious

Unsolicited texts about an “illegal boat” from Sri Lanka intercepted by Australian Border Force attempting to enter Australia have been sent to voters all over the shop with a link to a Liberal-endorsed website, vote.liberal.org.au. The text was framed as a news update and began with the word “BREAKING”. It continued: “Aust border force has has intercepted an illegal boat trying to reach Aus. Keep borders secure by voting Liberal today.”

The Liberals have just sent out texts linking the recent news of an intercepted asylum seeker boat to a vote for the Liberal Party. A pretty unprecedented intervention and use of national security no? If anyone got this text, or can thinking of a similar incident, get in touch. pic.twitter.com/5RTtt8Zr1W
