‘Reclaim Australia’ Accidentally Allows Loosest Unit To Hack Twitter Page During Protests

Australia – land which proudly upholds freedom of speech to such a blistering extent that certified Loose Units are unleashed upon Twitter, allowed, nay, encouraged, to man the Twitter account of one of the nation’s most contested groups.

Resisting the strong temptation to dive straight into this thing of extraordinarily ‘Straya proportions, we’ll start at the beginning of this tale to set the scene. Today, peaceful protests are being held across the nation. The Reclaim Australia group—an anti-Islamic, anti-Burqa, anti-Sharia Law, anti-Halal, pro-Nationalist organisation—organised the rallies in capital cities, in attempt to confront extremism in Australia.

Having to explicitly ban “Neo-Nazi/White Supremacist banners/placards” in a statement on their website speaks volumes about the organisation; counter-rallies against the “anti-muslim” ideology of Reclaim Australia have also been staged across the country by socialist groups.

Where things get interesting, however, is over on the Reclaim Australia’s Twitter, where this morning the group posted: “We’ve given some of our activists access to this account to live tweet. First up – Jeremy.”

Enter, stage left, Jeremy, our young protagonist. What ensued is what you would only expect to happen when you hand the reigns of a social media account to a Damo of the world – Jeremy’s sixteen tweets constitute a rant nonpareil in substance, profanities and tangents to any other. Highlights include, “wot’s xenophobia“, and “I’m gonna get stoned in the park,” AKA, A+ trolling that surely could have been only cleverly orchestrated by someone in direct opposition to Reclaim Australia itself.

Reclaim Australia recently issued a statement on the incident, saying that, “statements have been made on our official Twitter account that are not consistent with all our values.” The group added that they would not remove the tweets, due to #freespeech.
