I'm not aware of that actually happening. Here are some details on some allegations that were made, but the gist is that nothing improper actually did happen:

In context it seems like that paragraph may be referring to Australia.

The way I read it, they (unfavorably) compared American elections to Australian ones. Hence "here in Australia" followed by "in your last presidential election".

Anyway, I believe Australia has a prime minister rather than a president, so I don't think they can be talking about Australian elections.
