With the long 6 week election campaign drawing to a close there is a buzz in the air in Kooyong.
Monique Ryan, the genuine independent for Kooyong, now has a team of over 2000 volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life.
Josh Frydenberg covets the seat of Kooyong and is desperate to cling to office.
While Frydenberg still has his nose in front (don't believe the polls) he has ramped up familiar dirty tricks.
If the Liberals polling tells them this isn't working they go dirty
- The Liberal Dirt Unit trawls for something they think discredits the other candidate.
- Ramp up attacks via media
- Distribute attack leaflets to all letterboxes (at taxpayers expense!)
- Other Liberal MPs amplify attacks
If they feel REALLY threatened they escalate
- Deface or pull down opponent corflute posters (several hundred of Monique Ryan's have been stolen or damaged)
- Put up anonymous "attack corflutes" attempting to discredit all independents (new!)
- Ramp up personal attacks via friendly media and social media (ads)
- Prime Minister Morrison and ministers amplify attacks
- Attempt get corflute poster banned on residents property (Tim Wilson in Goldstein, )
- Attempt to restrict number of volunteers at polling booths (Kooyong, unsuccessful)
- Lean on the local council to restrict permits for A frames while distributing flyers
They might even get REALLY dirty
- Try to insert someone into opponent's campaign (or try to bribe someone to defect)
- Abuse other candidates and their supporters in public
- Attempt to provoke a confrontation to discredit their opponent and amplify it via media
- Paint over of Monique Ryan's murals!
Dr Ryan's campaign is positive
Dr Monique Ryan and all her supporters are committed to an honest and positive campaign that includes:
- Community engagement via forums, street walks, bike rides etc
- Door knocking - the entire electorate of Kooyong has now been visited!
- Transparent declared funding
- Over 2,000 local volunteers
- No dirty tricks
