FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Liberal National Party leader is standing firmly behind his party’s decision to dump a candidate over a visit to a swingers club.
Campbell Newman won’t reveal what his former Broadwater candidate Cameron Caldwell did that led to the Friday announcement of his disendorsement.
“The LNP has said that we are going to have high standards and we will be accountable and I totally support what’s happened,” he told reporters in Ashgrove.
“It’s terrific that we have Verity Barton as the candidate now for Broadwater.”
Mr Newman said he acknowledged there was an “issue” in Broadwater after Mr Caldwell became the second candidate to be sacked from the seat in recent weeks.
The previous candidate Richard Towson resigned after he was caught drink driving.
However Mr Newman would not concede the latest scandal would make it harder for the LNP to wrest Broadwater from Labor, which holds the seat by a narrow margin.
“I’ll leave that judgment to the political commentators,” he said.
Mr Newman was in Ashgrove to announce a community grants program worth $4 million over three years.
Speaking at a memorial hall for a local historic society, he said the $15,000 and $5000 grants would be earmarked for volunteer community groups and societies to buy equipment.
The announcement was almost overshadowed by a member of the historic society who took aim at reporters for questioning Mr Newman about the Broadwater scandal.
