The National do not call act of 2007 which was implemented in February 2008 has helped reduce unsolicited marketing calls.
Unfortunately, politicians have exempted themselves from this act. We now have a barrage of junk political robo-calls. Recently, political special interests have started using this exception to robo-call at times other than the autumn election season lobbying support for or against all sorts of legislation.
The levels have increased from simply annoying to positively intrusive.
Please amend the "Do Not Call" act to require political calls to honor the do-not-call registry
