The Chaser’s Election Desk has been good fun this election cycle, but they outdid themselves with a stunt on the show last night.
They approached election candidates with a small girl bearing everyone’s favourite Year 3 instrument, the recorder, and proceeded to play an atonal bit on non-music for as long as the candidate could bear it. Who would be the most patient candidate?
Well, turns out it was Labor candidate for Bennelong Lyndal Howison, who managed to tune in for a whopping four-and-half-minutes, proving that she is either massively patient with her constituents or plainly insane.
Bill Shorten, Richard Di Natale and Tony Abbott all met the same fate. Special shout out goes to Abbott, who tolerated precisely two seconds of recorder playing before looking for a means to terminate the encounter. Onya Tony.
