The knock on the door …
Mr Dirix considers himself a blogger who merely makes comments about Australian politics. He sends the emails using his own name to the public email accounts of the politicians.
He said among the emails, for example, were pictures of politicians with clown hats on, a picture that described Treasurer Wayne Swan as an “economics illiterate”, and a picture of Ms Gillard and Mr Swan in a parody of Custer’s last stand, a commentary on the 2013 federal election.
Mr Dirix, who runs a mowing business, said the federal police officers knocked on his front door yesterday around 10am, then they entered and confiscated his wife Sheryl’s computer.
He was charged with seven counts of using a carriage service to “menace, harass or cause offence” and one charge of assaulting police.
He believes the AFP seizures relate to 79 emails, sent by him to various political leaders between June and December.
He was also required to visit Caloundra Police Station to surrender his passport and is expected to be fingerprinted shortly.

I will look after your tomatoes but I’m afraid I cannot help Mr. Dirix, despite wanting to.
