Nationals candidate Kevin Hogan thinks he is Barack Obama


One of the crass aspects of federal election campaigning in America are those offers of brand mugs, t-shirts, car magnets, coasters and posters in exchange for donations to someone's political campaign.

President Barack Obama’s campaign team excelled at the hard sell during his first successful federal election campaign.

Now Australian voters are being invited to participate in similar tackiness, without the reward of receiving a mug from China or a t-shirt from Bangladesh.

Kevin Hogan wants voters to clothe his campaign workers. Yes, you read that correctly – the people of Page need to hand over $5 to stop some poor National Party supporter from being forced to door knock bare from the waist up.
