A federal election candidate for the United Australia Party is in hot water for racist and sexist comments posted on social media.
United party candidate Tony Hanley, who is running for the seat of Bean in the ACT, called Saudi Arabians ‘tea towel heads’ and referred to lesbians as ‘dykes’ and ‘big fat fugly chicks’.
The posts were made to a Facebook page under Mr. Hanley’s name which have since been deleted.
