David Marr, as usual, is searingly blunt. He also highlighted the absence of either of the two leaders focusing on any other constituents outside of working families- which presumably excludes migrants.

Suki, one or two migrants are known to work strangely enough.

…but considering the 10% swing to Labor in Lindsay, the smear leaflet didn’t seem to work…

Via contacts at FDB, it seems that election eve was not the only time these flyers were distributed. Nazis known to FDB have observed that they had received copies as far back as last October. The leafleting by Chijoff & Clark had been going on for weeks.

Of course they knew. Good call, mgk!

The upside is that apparently these ‘chaser-style hi jinx’ in Lindsay had an impact in Bennelong.

Finally a dirty trick that backfired .. i thought the electorate was finally waking up when there was general outrage over Haneef’s sim card.

cheers, michael

I agree that we were all very seriously over it by the time Howard & Andrews fucked Haneef over.

Jackie Kelly’s lame squirm that her smear stunt was a ‘Chaser style prank’ was pure horseshit. Kelly should be facing some jail time, along with the other conspirators.

Now comes the job of unscrambling Howard’s rotten eggs. There’s still 107 union workers in Perth facing massive fines over WorkChoices based charges and the Building and Construction Commission to dismantle.
