AnswerView source ↗
There was a rally last week at Blackmore Primary School and the member for Girrawheen, as the local member, attended. Who called the rally? Who organised the rally? Listen to this: it was none other than a man by the name of Luke Simpkins, who is the Liberal Party candidate for Cowan. Guess what he did? This is what the Liberal Party does. He organised for the school kids of that school to be out there with signs and placards, involved in a political rally. Using school kids for a political rally is what the Liberal Party is all about.
