A Tony Abbott campaigner has been assaulted at a school on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

NSW Police have arrested and charged a man who yelled abuse at several volunteers who were erecting political material, before thrusting a corkscrew at the stomach of a 31-year-old man.

Federal Vice President of the Liberal Party, Teena McQueen, spoke to Luke Grant about the incident.
