Tim Stewart's family watched with alarm as he descended into bizarre political conspiracy theories. They tell Four Corners of their concerns about his extreme beliefs and his relationship with the Prime Minister.
The family of a man who has been friends with Prime Minister Scott Morrison for decades and follows the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon have revealed they are so concerned about his beliefs they have notified the national security hotline several times.
Tim has been described on social media by Scott Morrison as an "amazing guy". Lynelle Stewart worked for her "forever friend" Jenny Morrison at the official Prime Ministerial residence in Sydney, Kirribilli House, as a household attendant until late last year. Scott Morrison has not responded on the record to questions about whether he and Tim Stewart are still friends.
"So, we did make a report to the authorities to ensure that we were doing the right thing as community members."Tim Stewart's blog, Sideways Step, lays out a central thesis of the QAnon conspiracy theory — that a group of leftist elites are running a paedophile ring designed to harvest children's blood.
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank that examines extremism, recently reported that Australia was the fourth most active country for QAnon supporters after the US, Canada and the UK.Jitarth Jadeja is a moderator of an online forum for people who've lost family members to QAnon. The Reddit group has about 160,000 members.
Karen Stewart ran as a candidate for the Greens in the last state election, while Tim has become more and more immersed in QAnon and Trumpist politics. "Things are about to get very messy for those who commit treason and for those who aid and abet those committing treason."
