right on cue just as the polls drop

for the government, guess what the ministers were telling us yesterday? The boogie men are coming to get us this time real proper and they are even living amongst us. Imagine all these boogie men, scarier even that Gough Whitlam, now about 90, possibly living next door to us?
You rogues, you utter lying, cheating, bullying, reckless and cowardly rogues. You don't trust us to make a sensible political judgement about your stewardship of this country so you try to scare us into not voting for the Opposition (whether they are worthy of stewardship is another matter) and scare us into supporting you on the basis of our knowing you talk "tough on boogie men." Fagin and those ugly Dickens characters are nothing compared with you.
As for you idiots who listen to the scaremongering and believe it - including that fat fool Beazeley, all of you aussies out there, why don't you declare yourselves "too dumb to vote" ? I'm sure there must be a clause in the electoral act that would save you the trouble of turning up to vote on election day. Write to the Commissioner and tell him "Dear Sir, I'm too dumb to vote. I get too easily pursuaded by cheats and liars and cowards and rogues that I can not make a rational decision..."
