Russian influence?

Given what's happened in (according to his site) 27 countries since 2004 where Russia has sought to influence elections in favour of Right wing parties, has anyone asked the question yet whether Russian disinformation interference happened in the Australian election? 

Just asking....

Wait, I thought it was Murdoch who manipulated the Australian election.... or was Russia manipulating him all this time? Or was it the other way around? All these conspiracies! I'm so confused!

Oh, so you think Murdoch doesn't at least try to manipulate Australian elections? Tsk tsk.

And there's room for more than one "conspiracy" in the world. I just wanted to be ahead of the pack if it turns Russians were somehow involved. They're very into "Right wing parties that think climate change isn't an issue."
