Here's a taste of Annabel Crabb's Australia Votes newsletter, delivered twice weekly straight to your inbox.

Possible tips for party organisers in future: cut off the texting fingers of all promising aspirants before they get themselves in trouble.

Or perhaps a secret series of candidate incubators in which young political hopefuls are raised on oatmeal and stirring literature and never allowed to go on the internet. An approach that did — after all — yield qualified results for Tony Abbott.

Ariel Bogle has filed this intriguing report about how political parties learn more about you by tracking the emails you forwardLots of talk about sluggish wage growth in this campaign. When Treasurer Josh Frydenberg claimed on Q&A that the minimum wage had outpaced growth in both inflation and the average wage, AND been stronger under the Coalition than under Labor, was he right or wrong?

Meanwhile, here's TheirABC's Leftard stable-mates the New York Times with more hateful anti-Semitism …

Palmer preference deal continues to kick up dust on campaign trailThe Coalition's preference deal with Clive Palmer's United Australia Party — or in Labor's case, the supposed attempt to make a deal — continues to overshadow the major parties policy announcements on the campaign trail. My preference would be for Palmer to vanish into obscurity. Or for a more detailed report, focusing on the staggering amounts taxpayers are owed by Palmer instead of framing it yet again as Labor attacking Liberal, try the New Daily. Get well soon Aunty. ausVotes Tax payers had to foot almost $70 million to sacked employees from QLD Nichol and Palmer hasn't paid a cent. Now ScottMorrisonMP is letting him off the hook. Disgraceful.

Darkest day in Liberal's federal election campaign hints at civil war to comeIt is the last thing Scott Morrison needed in a state where he has been struggling to rebuild after the dumping of Malcolm Turnbull and internal ideological wars, writes Patricia Karvelas. Let's be honest, Morrison subscribes to a denomination of Christianity that hates gays and Muslims, pretending he disagrees with homophobia and Islamophobia is purely public relations, political and empty... Kroeger's & Teena McQueen work is working out well It's funny how the Labor candidates who have shared rape jokes & anti Semitic comments is buried by the ABC at the bottom of an article titled 'the darkest day in Liberal's election campaign..' So transparent from the ABC Labor faction. It's just like Shorten's rape allegations.

Stress mounting within Labor as Shorten battles to get his election campaign back on trackBill Shorten went into the campaign the firm favourite to win the election, but sings of stress are continuing to show in his campaign. Stress. Mounting in the ABC . Despite Ruperts instructions the cant make Scu.Mmo look good. 💡Make billshortenmp look bad. 😏 Obvious Rupert holds their morgages . If you want to work in his town get it right. Perhaps the reason the L-NP isn’t under as much policy pressure is because they’ve got very little policy? Still short price favourite, calm down ABC

Campaigning for the 2019 federal election is well underway so make sure you know what your rights are. ausvotes19 auspol Media & political class want to create their own 'truth' We have inherited the US disease.

Racist vandals target Indigenous Greens candidate Major 'Moogy' Sumner’s election posterAn election poster for Indigenous South Australian Greens Senate candidate Major 'Moogy' Sumner has been defaced with a racist slur. To damage any electio posters is vandalism and the perpetrators should rightly be called vandals. However, how do you know that this particular vandals are racists. Or is that just the usual throwaway line? Not condoning vandalism at all, but calling this racism is a stretch unless there is evidence of that. How many political posters vandalised overall? Quite a few I'd wager. I've seen that in almost every country I've visited. This feels like greens playing victim card 4 votes. Yes Racism is Rife since little johnny howard endorsed the rise of the Far right extremists now everyone thinks it’s ok to express their racial views as their opinions & not be called out ..
