Labor has accused Liberal volunteers of using racially charged language against some of its volunteers who were speaking Mandarin and Cantonese at a polling booth in the marginal Sydney seat of Reid.
Labor's Reid candidate Sam Crosby told SBS News he has lodged a complaint over two alleged instances he witnessed of Liberal volunteers using racist language at the Concord pre-polling station.
In one case, he said a volunteer was explaining the Senate ballot to a voter in Cantonese when a Liberal volunteer "stormed over" and said "very loudly and very rudely 'English only, you are not allowed to speak their language'."
