The best time of the election has come around, ‘the blackout’ period. It is a moment of pure joy, where the fake tradie campaign ads disappear and we won’t be seeing the Malcolm Turnbull’s best ‘I’m-not-being-forced-to-say-this’ impression. A moment where the pollies will have to resort in kissing babies to get our vote.

Now, to celebrate this blackout period we have sourced three of the best moments from this years election. Ones that will utterly crush you when you release these are the people you have to vote for.

 

This guy with a gun.

What is an election campaign without an ad featuring a politician shooting down two people?

Bob Kattler, the Federal Member of Kennedy, created an ad that features him shooting down the symbols of what is the two major political parties. I mean what says more ‘vote-for-me’ then guns & violence?

 

David Leyonhjelm’s own personalised wicked van…

David Leyonhjelm of the Liberal Democrats is all about the free speech. So we shouldn’t be surprised when he expressed that we should all just lighten up and have a good laugh at the sexist slogans painted of Wicked Vans.

So what happens when The Chasers (aka Aussie legends) gifted David his own personalised camper right out the front of his house? The short story? Not very well.

 

Chris Jermyn’s unearthed pizza rants…

Long story short- Chris enrolled to vote in McEwan an area, where he in now campaigning. Unfortunately where he lives in McEwan is just an empty block of land spending A LOT of his time in Melbourne City. A city where the local pizza joint closes at 1am, so like every intellectual human being of this generation took his disgruntle to Facebook…

“Why does your Prahran store suggest on its Google results (proffered by you) that it’s open until 1 AM on a Thursday night, when evidently it closes at midnight?”

“Had I known, I would have made my order quicker, but I tend to rely on your own times being correct. Instead, I sit here hungry. What’s the deal?”

We totally get it Chris, every city should have its own 24hr pizza joint. It is just another peril of living in cities where we have to go to bed at 1:30am. Something you support right?

 

Well at least Marge gets it…
