Australia’s one true Prime Minister Lee Lin Chin has been largely absent from the 2016 campaign, with the void her absence has left being filled by charisma-free zones Bill Shorten and Malcolm Turnbull instead.

Now, on the final day of campaigning, Lee Lin has finally surfaced to stake her claim to the nation’s highest office. In an interview for The Feed with Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, Lee Lin sneaks into his office past some sophisticated security, secures an as-yet unnamed place in his ministry should he win the election, and somehow gets away with murdering some poor schmo in a suit in the middle of everything.

Shorten, as ever, is pretty dull, but he genuinely seems happy to be there, which is more than you can say for any interview Malcolm Turnbull does where anyone asks him even a mildly inconvenient question. All in all, this is one of the better things to come out of this dreadful, endless campaign.
