@TheAge poll re support for #COVIDVIC19 lockdown extensions: Tracked 70% yes, 30% no and performed normally with votes trickling in. Then, yesterday, a sudden spike of 15,000 'no' votes occurred in a few seconds. Several more sudden spikes have been recorded. #IStandWithDan
I have tracked and recorded the sudden spikes, and have screenshots of how the poll progressed over time, with a number of sudden spikes demonstrating bot 'block votes' were purchased at least 4 times.
These two screen shots were captured 16 seconds apart, and captured a sudden spike of 'no' votes, only possible via a scripted bot 'block vote.' 
As I get back into it today, I'm getting very tired of that small but vocal group in our community who try to suggest that because the mortality associated with #COVIDVIC19 is predominantly the frail & elderly, "they would have died soon from something else anyway". #auspol 1/2
These attempts to minimise the impact of the pandemic, to disregard the less common but very real cases of younger people who can die from or be maimed by #COVID19, to push for irresponsible early lifting of restrictions - they leave me frustrated, sometime angry, & even fearful
