Rita Saffioti arrived at Rockingham Lakes Primary School armed with lollies to re-energise the Labor troops, in lieu of a democracy sausage.
And Ms Saffioti had company, with the retired former local MP Paul Papalia also on hand.
“I like the packaged lollies and he said snakes, and the snakes have gone,” Ms Saffioti said.
“All the snakes were taken, so it means more sherbies for me to eat in the car”.
The Deputy Premier and Treasurer said she’s not worried a Labor defeat in Secret Harbour would be a portent of worse to come, despite One Nation vowing to come after her seat in 2029.
“I don’t feel threatened,” she said.
And she’s still hoping Labor candidate Georgia Tree can withstand any protest vote this weekend.
“The feeling’s pretty good, it’s not too hostile,” she said.
“There may be some changing in votes, there’s no doubt about that. But looking at what’s happening to the right of politics, One Nation has really taken a lot of that Liberal base is what I’m seeing.
“But how it all pans out, we’ll have a look at after 6PM tonight”.
