ACT, Australia - Sept. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- This week Australia enters the final week of a federal election campaign and as is Australia’s reputation, there have been many fun, awkward and entertaining moments along the way.

With only a days to go before Australians cast their votes, the litany of gaffes, sackings, racist outbursts and meltdowns appears to stretch from Sydney to Perth via Darwin. And if that isn’t enough, a new video election ad has emerged that contains the 'f' word no less than ten times!

So to celebrate (or perhaps commiserate) the Australian political process, here are the top five most bizarre things to come out of the campaign.

NUMBER ONE

There’s too much f*&king going on in Australia

But the winner of the uncouth and out-there award for best election stopping moment has got to be the video campaign advertisement from the Australian Sex Party that drops the F-bomb no less than 10 times and includes simulated sex, drugs and a pregnant teenager. The video has caused a stir amongst conservatives and sparked much discussion online.

Number TWO

THE SUPPOSITORY OF WISDOM

Would-be Prime Minister Tony Abbot lives up to his reputation of being a bit anally retentive by proclaiming he’s not the “suppository of all wisdom”.

Number THREE

ISLAM IS A COUNTRY

One Nation candidate Stephanie Banister confidently attacks the country of Islam before unleashing her views on Halal food. Of course, Kosher food is okay because ‘Jews follow Jesus Christ’.

Number FOUR

STOP THE BOATS, STOP THE BOATS, STOP THE BOATS

Conservative candidate Jaymes Diaz’, standing for the Liberal Party, not only struggles to explain how his party would stop asylum seekers coming to Australia, he did so in the most gaffe-prone way possible.

Number FIVE

GAME OF THRONES

To kick off the election season, community activist organization GetUp! released a Game of Thrones themed video to explain the Australian political system. Unfortunately, much like the popular TV show it was fashioned after, the video left many viewers even more confused than before.

With such bizarre frivolity already, the real question is whether the Australian political landscape will pull out any new doozies in the final days of the campaign.
