“The move came after it emerged winner Dinesh Gourisetty had provided a character reference in support of a man convicted of grooming and sexually assaulting a child” the liberal party is just full of the best people aren’t they, either a crazy conspiracy cooker, or a literal freak with zero morals, those are their best options apparently!

The pedo supporter is more on brand with the LNp. Deeming should just go to ON – her values align with them more

As I said elsewhere – curious that whoever had this information chose to wait until a day *after* the pre-selection to drop it to the *Australian*.

Meanwhile, the newly elected Mayor of Wyndham also provided a reference to the same bloke, and called the offense “a one off”.
People are pissed.

The voting will continue till we get the result we want. What sort of moron would trust these dickheads with government??

Their options were someone who , just to clarify, is apparently not a nazi vs someone who wrote a character reference for a kiddy fiddler. Well they were their top options anyway. I thought that would have been the bottom of the barrel but it’s the Liberal Party so guess not.

Can you imagine the laughter at the Victorian Labor party HQ. Also obligatory “how could Dan Andrew’s let this happen to the Liberal Party”

Can’t run their own party, want us to believe they could run the state.
We desperately need Greens/independents/other minors to stand up and capture the disaffected Labor vote. These turkeys can’t be the alternative.

I think it’s hilarious that the article fails to mention which specific other “senior liberals” have provided character references for people accused of child sex abuse, I wonder if that’s anything to do with the fact that said Senior Liberals are, namely, John Howard and Tony Abbott.

Character witnesses are deeply problematic for cases involving SA, because narcissistic and psychopathic individuals will obtain positive attention from people who do not know them, and negative attention from people who do know them, and often cannot stand them. You cannot have one without the other, resulting in a higher likelihood of narcissistic or psychopathic individuals being able to obtain positive character witnesses. No accuser of SA should have to tolerate character witnesses telling the court how wonderful the accused person is, because it is not likely to be an accurate reflection of their character. Monsters will hide in plain site by charming people who do not know them.

I’m seriously considering entering politics. My main points being that I am not a complete fuckhead, do not support and have never written a character reference for any paedophiles, am not looking to rort the system to give my mates jobs or multi million dollar government contracts, and genuinely want the best for my fellow Australians. Maybe I’m just not cut out for politics.
