It's hard to imagine anything could be worse than the angry cookers who've turned Victoria's election into a Trump-like circus. There's the Angry Victorians Party, with Cath Cumming, an MP who called for the Premier to be turned into 'red mist'. There's the 'Sack Dan Andrews Party', the founder of whom said, 'I could have called it the "Wacko Crazy Lunatics Party" but I didn't.' Should have! There's the good old DLP, with extremist right-winger ex-Liberal MP Bernie Finn, and Adem Somyurek, the disgraced Labor MP exiled for corruption.

But even more worrying for sensible Victorians is that the Liberal Party has been taken over by extremists. Liberal leader Matthew Guy has been desperately running away from them, but the word 'Liberal' will appear next to their name on the voting paper. Let's quote my community's Liberal candidate, Timothy Dragan, last week: 'This area doesn't care about climate change. I'll vote against it.' He wants nuclear waste in Alice Springs. He announced that abortion is being used by women as a form of contraception. He said:

Why is the passage through the vagina the reason why you can or can't murder a human? What makes a vagina's trajectory so special? Does it give it a magical dignity or something like that, you know?

He twice signed a petition claiming 'women may assist in decision-making, but the ultimate decision is for men'. He talks of 'bloody Aboriginals', contending:

We won this land fair and square. It's like telling Britain to give the land back to the Vikings …

This Saturday, vote Labor and spare our country from Matthew Guy's Trumpland circus.
