A subterranean campaign on the Chinese-language social media platform WeChat has ramped up in the final weeks of the 2022 federal election campaign, with material being shared in private groups that alleges Labor and the Greens will fund school programs to turn students gay, impose new taxes and destroy Chinese wealth.
The “posters” – well-produced posts designed for WeChat – carry no party authorisation, but for the most part support the Liberal party. Several have been obtained by the Guardian.
