Spam Rules

The Spam Act 2003 covers commercial emails and SMS.

Section 16(1) of the Spam Act prohibits the sending of ‘unsolicited commercial electronic messages’.

SMS’s and emails that are not commercial, that is, they don’t offer, advertise or promote goods or services, e.g. messages from political parties, are not commercial and so are not covered by spam rules.

That’s according to the fuckwits that made the act.
