Liberal candidate for Isaacs Jeremy Hearn will be disendorsed by his party for anti-Muslim comments he posted on social media last year.
In a now-deleted social media post, Mr Hearn described Muslims as people of ‘bad character who should not be given Australian citizenship’ and said all Muslims subscribe to an ideology of killing or enslaving Australians if they do not convert to Islam.
The Liberal candidate in Melbourne’s southeast went on to say that Muslims were trying to overthrow Australia’s political and legal systems and replace them with Sharia Law. A Liberal Party spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday morning that the Administrative Committee of the Victorian Liberal Party is moving to cancel Mr Hearn’s endorsement.
