Dirty tricks, bullying to the last.
In Brisbane, Labor has accused the Liberals of being behind a leaflet
being handed to voters as they arrive at the polls. The pamphlet tells
them to put climate change first and Labor candidate Arch Bevis last.
People who were handing out the leaflets say that they were approached by
the Liberal Party to hand them out.

The Queensland ALP has made an official complaint to the AEC.

In Wentworth, Malcolm Turnbull has threatened voters that they face a
by-election if he loses to George Newhouse. Turnbull insists there is
doubt over Newhouse's eligibility to stand, and he will challenge the
result if Newhouse wins.

Both stories are on the ABC's Election website:

1. And in Bennelong they have indicated there will be a by-election
if Howard wins. I wonder how many in that seat want to avoid that possibility.
We'll find out soon enough.
