Conservative politician Cory Bernardi is the voice of a new robo-call campaign against same-sex marriage
Australian Conservatives leader and prominent “no” campaigner in the postal survey on same-sex marriage, Cory Bernardi, has argued that his plan to hit one million homes in Australia with automated phone calls asking them to vote “no” is less intrusive than a text message campaign by the “yes” side.
Last weekend, the Equality Campaign sent out unsolicited text messages to Australians based on phone numbers that had been auto-generated. As a result people received text messages regardless of whether they had a silent number, or were on a Do Not Call register.
