Niche Australian political subreddit experiences 'coup'

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/LaborPartyofAustralia/

The drama: The whole subreddit (title, banner, description, pinned messages) have been overhauled in support of an opposing party. The candidate for the opposing party was made a mod and didn't even ask for it.

Context: The federal election is soon. Some users are claiming these changes amount to election interference and have threatened to report the changes to the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission).
