Because im so sick of getting phonecalls everynight, right at dinner time from both political parties.

Stupid recorded messages dribbling on about blah blah blah

Its so intrusive.

Sp bring on the voting this weekend just so the stupid phonecalls stop

Voting here in Tasmania. I am not voting as I am registered in Queensland Never seen so many political signs along the roadside before. They are everywhere. Plus thee number of ads on Television. One after the other. Annoying. At least they can not ring me.

Do they call you on your landline?

I haven't had a landline for over 12 mths now, and don't miss getting calls from people you don't want to speak with.

How bizarre are those Clive for PM ads for a state election campaign? Not to mention all the spelling errors on their publications, including the candidates names. :D:D

I haven't had a single phone call. They must use a Telstra directory.

I use a different provider for my phone and changed the number because I got to select numbers that matched my mobile 😄

I've never had a nuisance call since.

I've been feeling a little neglected when I hear people complain about the 10 calls a day they've been getting. I soon get over it though :D:D

Apparently Clive's robot rang 000 to spam them

I'm on a VOIP service, unlisted number, was getting them nightly from all sources.

thank them for their call and tell them that you were undecided until now but since you have proof now that they (liberals for example) are wasting (tax payers?) money so freely by advertising their party you made up your mind and are going to vote for labor.
