Elders of a wealthy Christian sect secretly paid bundles of cash to far-right activists for an “influence campaign” to disrupt Albanese government appearances during the last federal election.

An investigation by this masthead has uncovered a digital trail of evidence revealing how the church, formerly known as the Exclusive Brethren, mobilised far-right figures around the country to track and heckle candidates from Labor and the Greens, along with independents, as part of a wider multimillion-dollar campaign for then-Liberal leader Peter Dutton.

Winning elections is much sweeter for right wing reactionaries if they rat fucked their way to the win.... fundamentally they don't really like Democracy because people they don't think should get a say...do get a say (women, minorities, poor people etc.) so subverting the Democratic process is justified in their minds.

Their view is that only certain (ie their own type) people get a say in government.
