Everyone else can give up because we’ve found the best slogan of the election. You can keep your “jobs and growth” and your “putting people first”, because a Greens candidate with no chance of getting elected has stolen our hearts (or is it our minds?). The Greens candidate for the seat of Lindsay, a marginal electorate in Sydney’s west, is Kingsley Liu. Liu has released this billboard, taking aim at the local MP Fiona Scott, who was at the centre of a furore last election when then-prime minister Tony Abbott said voters would be drawn in by her “sex appeal”. It reads “Nerd Appeal not Sex Appeal”. Shut it down, there are no better slogans than this one.
