This is actually super interesting. Consider screenshotting it all and send a tip to the Guardian. I'm sure the Libs aren't the only ones using these predictive analytics stuff though.
This is why political patties want your email and phone number -- so they can add you to a database and enrich it with data scraped from profiling platforms, data brokers, ethnicity predictors and other commercial data sources.

Interesting article in Crikey about this today ;)
Oh awesome, thanks. I knew it was weird!
