Jeremy Maluta reveals he is behind pro-Labor Twitter account but says he has no media experience or connection to Daniel Andrews
account was set up in March 2020, around the time the pandemic hit Australia, with a user picture of the Simpsons character Troy McClure.
“If you actually echo the kind of words that they use to tell a different narrative, perhaps a more truthful narrative, if you do it the same way they do it use the same hyperbole, the same screeching headlines, it cuts through and I think people are used to or conditioned to reading that kind of sensational, attention-grabbing crap,” he said.
Maluta said Yemini’s plan had backfired because it just drew more attention to his account. The Friendlyjordies video included a watermark over Maluta’s face mentioning an unlawful assault against Yemini’s ex-wife the far-right figure pleaded guilty to in 2019.
