Having the PM message me via Neighbourly is also SPAM. Quite frankly I didn't even bother to read the whole 'Look how great I am' spiel. Am I wrong to be offended that I am being targeted in this manner, What will happen when the other political parties cotton on to this. I am going to be inundated with political campaign crap (which I will just delete). Or is this a right just reserved for the PM.
