Canvases By Peter<p>So did everyone get an unsolicited spam SMS from the unAustralian Liberal Party saying how great they will be when elected, a few minutes ago? My Motorola automatically put it into 'Spam'.. I've contacted the AU liberal party no less than 6 times over the last 5 years to take me off their spamming lists, they never listen, in fact I think it's their main policy to Never Listen, which is why they're going to get thrashed at the election, once again.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Spammers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spammers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LNP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LNP</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Corruption</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a></p>
