Considering how many fucking times i get unsolicited and unwanted political calls and texts i can never block, never report and never get off the list of, my sympathy is non-existent

Albo yet to receive single phone call

Federal political sources downplayed the seriousness of the issue, believing the issue was not related to a data leak or breach.

Sources noted the private contact information for politicians was often already widely available and known by stakeholders and members of the public they had interacted with. Some pointed out that politicians often kept the same contact details for years, from when they were more junior politicians who freely distributed their numbers on public documents like press releases or community announcements.
