'That notorious homosexual': Liberal candidate in attack on Tim Wilson
READ MORE
Another Victorian Liberal candidate is embroiled in an extremism row, publicly endorsing an attack on his party colleague, Goldstein MP Tim Wilson, as a “notorious homosexual”.
The party’s candidate for the seat of Wills, Peter Killin, complained to fellow Liberal Christian right activists in December that not enough of them had shown up at a preselection vote for the seat of Goldstein in 2016 to prevent Mr Wilson being selected to represent the Liberal heartland seat.
Mr Killin, who is contesting the Labor-held seat of Wills in Melbourne’s inner-north, made his remarks in the comments thread of the blog of Christian-right blogger Bill Muehlenberg.
The candidate’s comments came in response to a post by another commentator, Michael Taouk, who said he was not in the Liberal Party, calling for the “Liberal grassroots” to “remove preselection from that notorious homosexual Tim Wilson”.
