As at 10pm last night Prodos Marinakis, ultra-freak independent candidate for Albert Park, was sitting in fifth place at 5.01% of first preference votes. The good voters of Albert Park were extremely perceptive in placing the Family First Party, who are ultra-ultra-freaks, behind Prodos on their ballot forms.

There were a few seconds of very disturbing footage on Channel Nine News last night, showing Prodos singing his campaign song for the cameras. But the quote of the campaign comes courtesy of The Age and a female voter at Albert Park Primary School:

“I can’t vote for him, he’ll scare my children”

Prodos dreams of a victory filled with electorate adoration and taxpayer cash
