The Australian Electoral Commission is planning on using Elon Musk’s Starlink services as back up for transmitting voting results information in the upcoming federal election.

In a contract published late last year, the AEC appointed Telstra responsible for the agency’s fixed line and Starlink services until mid-2027, in a deal worth $1.38m. A spokesperson for the AEC confirmed Starlink could be used in the upcoming election for sensitive election data.

As Australians we need to come together and make sure this doesn't happen. The last thing we need is any influence from either Elon Musk and his orange muppet. So let's come together and make Albo do something about this before it's to late!
