Oh dear with Abbott as a leader what can you say the liberals have now entered paranoid terminal phase.
'Labor has categorically denied any involvement in an alleged smear campaign against the Liberal candidate for the marginal NSW Central Coast seat of Robertson, Darren Jameson.
A formal complaint was lodged with police against Mr Jameson, who is himself a police officer, after he was allegedly aggressive towards two 13-year-old boys he suspected of throwing eggs at his car on Friday night.
Mr Jameson said on Tuesday he was the victim of a dirty smear campaign, after one of the boy's parents lodged a complaint with Gosford police.
Labor candidate Deborah O'Neill's campaign director says the smear allegation is "ludicrous".
"We had absolutely, categorically nothing to do with this," George Houssos told AAP.
"We don't even know those kids.
"To imply there is some elaborate conspiracy between Deborah and a couple of kids to set up (Mr Jameson) is ridiculous.
"It's a desperate tactic from a desperate candidate."
Mr Jameson was driving home on Friday night through the Gosford suburb of Kariong when eggs were thrown at his car.
He reportedly approached two 13-year-old boys whom he suspected of throwing the eggs and took them to the local youth centre to verify their denials.
The boys are believed to have later complained that Mr Jameson grabbed one of them by the shirt and was aggressive.
"I have subsequently been informed of allegations made against me which are completely incorrect and I strongly refute," he told The Daily Telegraph newspaper on Monday night.'
