HDS on election night at Oz polling station
2007-11-24
HDS = Howard Derangement Syndrome
Melbourne police were called out to a polling station in the outer Melbourne seat of Deakin when emotions ran high between Liberal Party campaigners and a voter. Police say a woman took offence at Liberal Party posters outside the Great Ryrie Primary School in Heathmont.

They say she began arguing with campaigners, before ripping their posters down and then drove her car at a newspaper reporter. The reporter, John Elder from The Age, fell to the ground although he was not badly hurt.

"She actually came back and said, 'What do you mean you're a journalist?'" he said.

"She was very worried about that and she said, 'Will you accept my apology?'

"I said, 'I think you should go home because the police are coming'. To be honest I was a bit shaky."
