Famous Benji Marshall sidestep not good enough to avoid volunteers handing out how to vote cards 

WALL OF DEFENCE: Rugby league great Benji Marshall has failed to avoid volunteers at Potts Point polling station today, despite him having arguably the best side step in NRL history.

“The people trying to hand out how to vote cards were coming at me from all angles,” Marshall told DBT.

“I threw a dummy to breeze past the Greens bloke, then stepped left to get around the Labor bloke, but in the end, the Allegra Spender and Ro Knox volunteers proved too strong.”

Witnesses say Marshall tried every trick in the book: pretending to kick, a spin move, and even a cheeky cross-field shimmy, yet the how-to-vote volunteers had him covered.

“Full credit goes to our volunteers,” says a spokesperson from the Australian Electoral Commission.

“They’ve been putting in the hard yards at training and it’s showing today.”
