Lots of funny stuff going on it seems......
SCENES at the Gap State School turned ugly on Saturday as volunteers turned against each other.
Members of the controversial Team Australia Supporters Club were evicted from the campus after complaints about their banner stating, ‘Help Stop the Mosque’ was deemed offensive.
Team Australia admin James Darby said his club had every right to be on the grounds.
“I was asked to leave by a member of GetUp because they said our sign was inciting people,” Mr Darby said.

“I then refused and they called the ECQ [Electoral Commission Queensland].”
Mr Darby said he was there to show support for independent candidate for Ashgrove Connie Cicchini but left after she changed one of the preferences in her vote.
“I found Connie’s card had ALP as a higher preference than the LNP,” he said.
“I’d still be there if she hadn’t done that.”
The ECQ refused to comment on the incident.
Elsewhere, the Samford Farmers Hall has been the site of tension this morning, with the voting booth’s supervising officer forced to remove a man displaying an unauthorised sign that was critical against the LNP.
Supervisor Ken Dagley said the man became “heated and argumentative”
when he asked the man to remove a sign from his ute that read: LNP: Lies Nasty Policy.
The ute was parked directly outside the Main St booth.
“There was a complaint the sign was offensive and unauthorised,” Mr Dagley said.
“The sign was not authorised.
