Police currently at a school polling place in Warringah where a Zali/Get Up supporter(s) has been pulling down Abbott/Liberal signs and pulled a knife on a Liberal putting up signs.
Not going to help their cause. I think Tony will be gone as it is, they donāt need to ruin their chances with sabotage/bad sportsmanship.
I donāt recall ever having such a dirty campaign in Australian politics.

Deplorable 
like America we are now becoming a joke where now you have to pick a side and once you cross that fence you will have a target of hatred and this sort of behaviour which is disgusting.
There is no need to rip off signs and pull out knives on a volunteer.

OK, slight correction here folks.
It wasnāt a knife, it was a corkscrew.
Thereās no suggestion the person was aligned to the Steggall campaign - theyāre not the only ones who have an issue with Abbott.
No real difference. Still unacceptable.
Thereās a video on Twitter, though it may have been deleted, where the offended says heās a Zali supporter.
Big difference between supporting a candidate and being involved in their campaign, mind
Did you even read my original post? Or did you not bother? Or canāt you read?
Fake news.
Weird how you always go for the ad hominem rather than engage in what people are saying.
Itās an ugly act, but itās not right to infer a supporter is in any way connected to a campaign. Anyone can put up placards or posters - they arenāt the exclusive domain of a candidateās campaign team.
Likewise, anyone can vandalise or try and take things down they donāt like. Heās since been charged, and Iām sure NSW Police will conduct a thorough investigation.

I did not say or infer he was part of her campaign. IIRC, I used the word āsupporterā.
Has anyone received ājunk mailā telling you to vote for Clive Palmerās party?
Yes. Went straight into the bin.

All voted. Done and dusted for another 3 years. This election has been brutal. One thing that really annoys me is the wasted resources. Even the greens party saying they are all about the environment and then handing out paper to everyone. Bit of a contradiction.

Iām concerned about people who vote for Tony Abbott after Tony has supported a convicted pedophile. Extremely grim that an elected representative would be advocating for a convicted pedohpile.

I donāt like Tony Abbott either but I donāt agree with your comment.
From all accounts Abbott said he accepted the verdict of the jury but would await the outcome of the appeal before making any final judgments.
I believe that is quite fair.

This morning I voted at Glen Waverley Primary School (which is located in the seat of Chisholm) and did not see the Chinese sign.
And those annoying text messages

Possibly had been pulled down by the AEC by then if it was in an inappropriate location?
Anyhow, I pity anyone who hasnātade their mind up by the time of voting. Iām about to head off now, wonāt be accepting a singe piece of paper. Seems so wasteful.
I always know how Iām going to vote in my local electorate then make it up on the day in the senate.
I do wish the ballot papers would include something to reflect preference flows (though that could look very complicated very quickly).
Rocked up to the local airport this morning just in time to watch the RAAF jet leaving with ScoMo. Not sure when he arrived in Devonport but he was in Bass earlier this morning. Nice to hear the roar of the jets and smell the jet fuel around this area! Heād be landing in Sydney about now or would have in the last little while.
