Gun lobby accused of 'dirty tactics' after anti-gun group's Twitter account hacked

Posts written by hacker claimed anti-firearms group tried to block Port Arthur massacre investigation

An anti-gun group has accused the firearms lobby of hacking its Twitter account and writing posts that claimed the group was funded by George Soros and had worked with the "deep state" to block investigations into the Port Arthur massacre.

Gun Control Australia, an anti-firearms group that advocates for tougher gun laws, said on Thursday that its Twitter account had been hacked earlier in September.
