Labor accused of below-the-belt tactics in Sydney

LATEST FEATURES

Labor and the unions are being accused of playing dirty in the campaign for the southwest Sydney seat of Macarthur.

Liberal member Pat Farmer says his house has been vandalised and campaign posters and an advertising balloon have been destroyed.

He believes the people responsible were bussed in from outside the area.

Mr Farmer has told 2GB’s Alan Jones that suspicion is based on the unexpected arrival of some visitors during one of his regular public forums.

“I had a double-decker brand-new Mercedes bus pull-up beside us,” he said.

“This thing was painted in orange and black writing [anti] WorkChoices – it must have cost them a fortune.”

Barbara...! Are you happy with the condition of NSW hospitals? Are you happy sitting in traffic on the F5 each day? Are you happy that DOCS has failed members of our community? Are you happy NSW is $40 billion in debt? Are you happy that trains are alwys late and often simply canceled? Are you happy with Iemma he Dilemma? Are you happy with the crap Rudd says about Hpward retiring when Bob Carr resigned as NSW leader without even telling the electorate? I think not... so why vote LABOR?????????

Why Barbara do you need the money. Your boss is not a charity. What about him? He may need help after his business goes broke.

it doesn't compare with the appalling behavior of the liberals in the seat of Lindsay. A state executive and the husband of a sitting member involved in handing out bogus material. Yet they deny all knowledge, who is stupid enough to believe that. They should be ashamed of themselves once again pushing prejudice and bigotry to win votes. Thats what this government is all about. And isnt the Australia I want to be apart of. Kevin Andrews will be proud.

It was reported in the local paper a few weeks ago about the labour party having there banners destroyed in the area and Pat didnt seem to care then.
