Users on social media have slammed the new campaign advert for the Australian Liberal Party just hours after its first broadcast.

The hashtag #FakeTradie trended on Twitter on Sunday night as people responded to Malcolm Turnbull's ad.

The advert features an actor dressed as a tradesman saying the Labor leader wants to go war with various groups, including miners, the tradies' bank and even the tradie himself.

‘Bill Shorten even wants to go to war with me. Someone who just wants to get ahead through an investment property.’

‘Bill Shorten even wants to go to war with me. Someone who just wants to get ahead through an investment property,’ the fake tradie says

One Twitter user wrote: 'I don’t do politics. I just know that’s one of the most cringe worthy pieces of advertising I’ve ever seen.'

Another added: 'Why is his work bench in a lane-way nowhere near work site? Where did the shiny new mug come from? Will this ad agency work again?'

Many raised health and safety concerns over the tradesman's gold watch and bracelet.

'Be like fake tradie. Lose your arm when your gold bracelet gets caught in your circular saw.'

'Good to see #faketradie risking it all by sitting on a powersaw with a cup of hot coffee and no protective gear while defending the banks,' said one

Various Twitter accounts parodying the fake tradie also emerged in light of the social media response

Various Twitter accounts parodying the fake tradie also emerged.

'Labor's declared war on banks, mines and blokes like me, while the Libs have declared war on decent campaign ads.'

Others were quick to come up with their own versions of the ad. An image of dog dressed up in a hardhat and protective goggles was posted with the caption: 'I found your dog #FakeTrade.'

Another, featuring the tradie cut out and imposed in front of the moon landing was described as 'more believable,' by its author.
