Dramatic moment election volunteer in marginal seat gets heated discussion with voter: ‘You’re an idiot’
- Voters and Labor volunteers in heated polling booth exchange
- The verbal commotion took place at Heathcote’s seat
A Labor volunteer has been filmed during an election day confrontation with a voter who told him to ‘suck it up’ when he tried to speak to him.
The verbal arrest took place in the marginal seat of Heathcote, south of Sydney, early on Saturday.
The volunteer in the red shirt can be heard on the video explaining how ‘nurses are leaving en masse (the profession)’ but the voter is not impressed.
Must be a liberal voter: the voter and volunteer in the heated argument (left) and the volunteer afterwards (right)
The voter turns to the volunteer and yells to his face, “Is that right? Why don’t you fuck off?’.
The PvdA supporter mumbles under his voice: ‘Why don’t you fuck off?’.
“You’re an idiot,” the angry voter yells back before storming off.
The altercation took place outside the voting booths in Woronora in the Heathcote electorate.
Heathcote was won by Lee Evans of the Liberals in the last election.
