PM heckled with 'scumbag' taunts
Prime Minister John Howard has been mobbed by voters during a chaotic campaign doorstop at a western Sydney shopping centre today.
Mr Howard has spent today campaigning in the key outer Sydney seat of Lindsay.
The Prime Minister was heckled with shouts of "scumbag" and "disgrace", while not everyone was keen to shake his hand.
"You going to look after us on interest rates?" one shopper said.
"Well, I didn't like the fact they've gone up," Mr Howard replied.
One woman was knocked to the ground as the media pack hurriedly followed the Mr Howard as he faced questions over industrial relations, education and this week's interest rate hike.
A photo of the alleged "knockdown" incident can be seen below...

You never know, I might be a closet Howard supporter who's secretly delighted that he zapped her!

Although I'm pretty new to the Australian political scene, anyone voting for Rudd and the bloke in drag (Julia Gillard, is it?) needs their fcking heads examined.
Basically, the ALP are Foot and Kinnock's Labor in a union nutshell.

It was Penrith! Ha ha ha! What an idiot...
I love Penrith. The highest concentration of very overweight people in tracksuits in NSW.
