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

Aus Karen Middleton Australian Border Force Peter Dutton Australia Liberal Party Sri Lanka

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

People smugglers have obviously decided who is going to win the election and the boats have already started.https://t.co/8ZMGfrh8Ne

Ok so there are 2 boats, one intercepted by the Sri Lankan navy & one by the Australian Border Force. I was told April 26 there would be 2 boats coming, allegedly facilitated by Sri Lankan authorities, due to arrive by May 21. Described as an “election stunt”. I couldn’t verify.
