BoingBoing reader Matt in Australia says:
Apparently our Australian PM – little Johnny Howard – has exploited a loophole in recently introduced anit-spam legislation which exempts charities and – wait for it – political organisations. So he's spamming the hell out of voters in his electorate with party propaganda. And it seems he's somehow managed to tie email addresses to first names, resulting in *personalised* spam and some pretty ticked off voters. It get's better – he's paying his son's company to do the mailing! (SMH is behind a subscription wall as of last week but bugmenot will sort you out – I had a running argument with a philosophy colleague about registration requirements on my blog last week here)
