Can You Match The Absurd Election Quote To The Politician?

Liberal MP Andrew Hastie said this when he was asked if he had met with far-right activist Neil Erikson. Hastie denied the meeting, while fellow MP Ian Goodenough said he had in fact had a brief encounter with Erikson — who was "dressed like a rapper" at the time — but only learned his identity later.

Andrew Hastie!

The 25-year-old dubbed "egg woman" said this as she walked away from her attempted egging of Scott Morrison at a Country Women's Association event — only to later be charged with assault and possession of cannabis. See you in court!

Egg woman!

Kirilly Dutton defended her husband to the Courier Mail, saying "He is a really good man. He is a really good father and he’s not a monster."

Peter Dutton's wife, Kirilly!

Former state Liberal minister Pru Goward said it, about the much-maligned Murray Darling Basin. The poor river.

Pru Goward!

Of course it was Angus (Taylor). Well done, Angus.

Angus himself!

"Fantastic. Great move. Well done, Angus"

Look if I'm being perfectly honest I also said it but with a lot more swearing.

Bill Shorten!

"I cannot believe in this election that there is a discussion even underway that gay people will go to hell."

Barnaby said this in a tweet, for reasons I can truly only guess at!

Barnaby Joyce!

Andrew Bolt!

Labor's climate policy won some unlikely praise from Abbott in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald. He said he "didn't believe" his opponent Zali Steggall would support a Coalition government in a hung parliament, "given that she's said her biggest issue by far is climate change and Labor has a much better climate change policy than the Coalition".

Tony Abbott!

"Labor has a much better climate change policy than the Coalition."

Russell Crowe!

"Understand the power of your preferences. Be safe out there."

And he's spent $50 million of it on advertising.

Clive Palmer!

"My wealth is $4,000 million. Do you think I give a stuff about what you personally think or anyone else?"

In the same interview, Hanson called her former party member Fraser Anning racist and accused him of trying to be another Pauline Hanson.

Pauline Hanson!

"I think he’s trying to be controversial, to be another Pauline Hanson."

Paul Keating!

"Those electors in Dickson have a chance to drive a political stake through [Peter Dutton's] dark political heart. And I hope they do."  


One Nation candidate Ross Macdonald wrote this on Facebook, alongside a picture of a topless woman as a centaur. I have no further information.

A One Nation candidate!

Watch out, Saturday could bring the apocalypse according to KAK.

Kerri-Anne Kennerley!

“If Bill Shorten gets in, it’s the end of life as we know it."

You did not recognise a whole lot of these quotes, which, to be honest, probably reflects well on you.

Hmm, not great.

You have paid a reasonable amount of attention to this election, but crucially, not too much. Hope your work-life balance is this good!

Well done!

Sorry, but you've been paying way too much attention to this election campaign and need to go outside immediately.

Get a life!
