WATCH: The Chaser Tried Trust-Falling Onto The PM, Copped An AFP Armdrag

It’s ELECTION SEASON, y’all!
And with that comes the usual handful of inevitable occurrences: Wildly overstated policy promises. Super awkward photo opportunities with children. And The Chaser trying to pull some shit.
The Chaser’s Election Desk‘ is officially confirmed and on the way to TV screens around the country, with the series set to premiere on the ABC on Wednesday, June 8th.
‘Course this means that they’ll need footage for the show. And the gang has been out in force today.
Chas Licciardello has inserted himself into the campaign trail today, intercepting Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull as he exited the McCarthy Catholic College in Emu Plains.
Licciardello walked directly up to the PM, through the media pack, and shouted “HEY MALCOLM, I WANT YOU TO KNOW I TRUST YOU!” before launching an unsuccessful attempt at a trust fall onto Turnbull.

The ground he landed on wasn’t exactly forgiving, and neither was the Prime Minister’s AFP security detail, who physically dragged Licciardello out of the area.

Elsewhere, fellow Chaser Craig Reucassel showed up to a subsequent Turnbull appearance brandishing a lifesize cutout of Tony Abbott.

When asked what he was doing, Reucassel stated that Turnbull “told” him that he always looks better if Abbott is around.

Though he too got the move along from Turnbull’s security, he didn’t cop the same manhandling that Licciardello did.

The election is an bountiful ocean of political content, dear friends. You just gotta find the right rod to catch it.
