SmoCo in Chisolm just now launching a campaign for the Liberal candidate there (who barely rated a mention, apparently) '...I was just down at Bombay Curries picking up some chilies and things...'

He was trying to make a statement about multicultural small business owners, I think. A little bizarre. Just picking up some chilies on the campaign trail, for some purpose. Maybe he's got a kitchen on his campaign bus, maybe gonna whip up some Monday night curries, I guess.

Not sure it even counts as a clanger, just some cringey nonsense which no one will much notice because it's par for the course.

Mmm. So probably the reason I hadn't seen the footage previously is because it's kinda 'meh' when you see it, lacks any real impact. I was imagining him walking up to some person in the street with a big NI HAO! only to be rebuffed, 'I'm KOREAN!'. But it's actually quite tame. Still a clanger in that he made a straight forward unforced error under no pressure, but nothing game changing.
Reminds me of a scene in the movie "The inevitable defeat of Mister & Pete".

African American boy asks his new best friend, an Asian boy, "Do you want to be my niggga?"
Asian boy replies, "But I'm Korean".

I'm confused on 2 fronts...

1) With the way you are scoring, do you want a high score a low score? So with the ALP currently leading, am I right in thinking that it's the LNP who've made more gaffes?

2) How is Parke a goal, but Dutton just a behind? Dutton's was far worse - his will be talked about and remembered until election day. No one will remember Parke by next weekend.
I think it is low score wins

Good to see that the Victorian Liberals have learnt their lesson from the state election and won't again launch political attacks on Safe Schools and LGBT people.

Just kidding.

A recording of comments made by the Liberal candidate for the Victorian seat of Chisholm appearing to describe LGBTI issues as "ridiculous rubbish" has emerged after she claimed yesterday that stories about it were "fake news" and not representative of her own views.

So the best attack on Labor's cancer policy Scummo can come up with is: 'Specialists will be left out of pocket.'

Honestly Mr Morrison, get out. Really shows what kind of man and what kind of barrel-scraping stand-for-nothing politician you are.
They tried to pull the same scam as with the budget.

Claim a department has costed a policy, turns out to be a lie. Just the government asking for extrapolations on certain present conditions then shoe horning it into a scare.

Rightwing LNP front group allegedly aimed at combatting getup, goes in to bat for a candidate with known women issues (Abbott) against a female candidate (Zali Steggall) that has nothing to do with the Greens or getup.

Make obscene video with dumb mascot molesting a campaign poster, are forced to apologise and claim it was accidentally posted and never meant for public consumption.

Makes the group not only look like dishonest astroturfed wingnuts, not good honest concerned citizens fighting back against getups "dirty tactics", but makes Abbott look like a creep by association.
