Show Notes
It's that time again. The time when the politicians go out into the community, shaking hands, kissing babies, flipping sausages and drinking beers - all in an effort to appear like 'one of us'.
Politicians have done some weird and wacky things in the lead up to elections. From dancing the Macarena on national TV, to biting into an onion like an apple, and just last week, Scott Morrison was washing an apprentice hairdresser's hair in Melbourne.
In this episode, we look at the ways in which Politicians attempt to endear themselves, and whether or not it's ever made a difference at the polling booth.
