塔州自由党在周五(5月3日)的一份声明中宣布,自由党候选人Jessica Whelan已退出Lyons选区的竞争。

声明中说,“Jessica Whelan坚持认为她并未像昨日媒体上所报道的那样发表过粗俗帖”,“不过,她承认她有发表过一些有问题的帖子”,“很显然,那样的帖子是不恰当的,自由党此前并不知情”。

《水星报》(The Mercury)此前曝光了两个带有这位候选人姓名和头像的帖子,其中之一是呼吁全国投票禁止穆斯林移民,另一个帖子则认为塔州不应接受叙利亚和伊拉克的难民。

距5月18日选举日仅剩两周,近日有数名候选人因争议言论而被迫或主动离开。

工党候选人Wayne Kurnoth

他曾在网上了分享了反犹太阴谋论,这个2015年的老帖声称这个世界是由一群犹太变形蜥蜴所统治的。

工党领袖肖顿曾表示从未见过Wayne Kurnoth,但后来网上流传出两人合照。

自由党候选人Kate Oski

她因可能同时拥有波兰国籍而连竞选活动还没参与,便早早退场了。

自由党候选人Helen Jackson

作为澳大利亚邮政的员工,她的工作性质被视为公务员,这可能违背了宪法第44条中关于选举候选人的资格要求。自由党选择放弃她、免除风险。

自由党候选人Murray Angus

这个原本在Corio选区颇有希望的候选人因称工党的竞争对手是“不错的家伙”而被放弃。
