I've been getting a few calls this afternoon about the election spending act. Call comes through with blocked caller ID, once connected plays a recorded message.

Its happened to two numbers so far that I've forwarded to my mobile. While I don't want to get into the politics of the bill myself - the practice of spamming people is questionable at best. Particularly if these private, unlisted numbers are not given out to anyone except family and friends.

The organisators of this rally may claim the moral highground but where is that highground when you spam people?
