SYDNEY - Campaigning for a general election later this month, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday he had forced a candidate to quit his Liberal Party because of Islamophobic comments posted on social media.
“Whether she’s contrite about it... I won’t have a candidate like that,” Morrison told reporters in Victoria, where he was campaigning for the May 18 election. “There is a small fringe of the party that holds right-wing views. This will damage the party’s standing in some parts of the country,” said Peter Chen, professor of political science at the University of Sydney.
Still, Australia’s most trusted opinion poll earlier this week showed the Liberal-National coalition had narrowed the gap on the center-left Labor party.
