In short:

MP Andrew Gee’s Facebook account has been caught impersonating a voter heaping praise on the politician but posted by “Andrew Gee MP”.

A spokesperson said the comment was made without Mr Gee’s knowledge by a new member of his campaign team

What’s next:

The staff member is being provided with “care and support” after the incident.

    Must be hard being a junior political staffer. A bit like redshirts in Star Trek, when things go wrong you know who’s going to cop it. 😂

    Probably impersonating a member of the public on behalf of an MP should be a crime, not just for the impersonator but also the employer?

    How is it not like a fraudulent review, astroturfing etc? Only the thing at stake isn’t a piece of shit plastic gadget but democracy
