Clive Palmer has struck a deal with Telstra to resurrect the defunct 1800 Reverse service after focus groups told the High Court’s biggest loser that his SMS campaign wasn’t annoying enough.
Trumpet of Patriots will be looking for thousands of volunteers to hit the countries pay phones to cold call voters and make them pay for it.
A source close to Clive told The Times,
“It’s genius because when you hear someone is trying to 1800 Reverse call you, you’d expect it to be super urgent like your son or daughter is in trouble but when you pick up it’s just a load of steaming consciousness from Cive’s brain flowing like a river of shit”
In a test run, one of Cliver’s volunteers said that he received very impassioned responses to tricking voters into thinking their family was in trouble. He told The Times,
“Oh yeah, this one guy told me he’d track me down and shove the headset where the sun doesn’t shine, I told him he’s angry because of albo and that The Trumpet of Patriots will completely solve inflation and every train will only take 20 minutes”
We approached Telsta for comment on how they could allow Clive to do something so incredibly irritating and instead of answering they just offered us 500mb more data a month to keep quiet.
You have to hand it to Clive, when it comes to giving voters the shits he is unmatched.
