Prime Minister Scott Morrison has dismissed suggestions that Gladys Liu, the Liberal party candidate for Chisholm is homophobic.
Liu had described a series of comments where she rallied against the safe schools program, argued against transgender people using the bathroom that aligns with their gender, and described the concerns of LGBTI people as “ridiculous rubbish” – as being misreported.
Liu labeled the report from The Guardian as “fake news”, but the journalist who recorded Liu making the comments released the audio of Liu making the comments.
Yesterday Sky News revealed that Liu had cancelled an interview with the candidate; “after Sky refused request to go softly and not ask any awkward questions”.
At a press conference last night Prime Minister Scott Morrison was asked if he thought Liu was homophobic. Scott Morrison said “No.”
The Prime Minister added; “I was very pleased to be with Gladys to launch her campaign, she has led an amazing Australian life,” Morrison said.
