Australian comedian Dan llic has hit the streets of western Sydney to answer voters’ questions ahead of the 2013 federal election.

Ilic put questions contributed by voters to the residents of Campbelltown as part of what he called "Dan asks".

"When will Campbelltown get a Taco Bell?" he asked one young resident.

"Hopefully soon because I’m a chef myself and I’ve seen a lot of the junk food go around here; it’s getting annoying and people should start looking at being healthy," the man replied.
