A number of Queensland voters in the March 2016 Sunshine Coast local government election obviously felt the choice before them was between bad and badder - so they chose baddest.

DONALD Trump has just
secured one per cent of the vote in Sunshine Council's Division Eight.
The outcome for Mr Trump
was almost half that achieved in Division Three by David Wilson who had an
ambitious plan to build an Opera House that failed to cut through with voters.
Triumphant Division
Eight candidate, returning councillor Jason O'Pray, said his scrutineers
had been surprised to see that were simply heaps and heaps votes recorded for
the US Republican front-runner.
Last night there was
some speculation Mr Trump would likely espouse the building of a "wall of
Mexico" between the Sunshine Coast and Noosa as part of his platform.
The votes for Mr Trump were cast as informal by voters unable to make a decision about the two
candidates - Jason O'Pray and Adriana Adamska-Bland.
