Liberal Party Vetting Process Criticised After Candidate For Wills, Tony Mokbel, Apologises For Offensive Tweets​

The Liberal Party is facing scrutiny over its preselection process after endorsing convicted drug trafficker Tony Mokbel as its candidate for the seat of Wills, with officials scrambling to contain fallout from several offensive tweets posted during his time as Australia’s most wanted fugitive.

The tweets, written while Mokbel was on the run in Greece in 2007, include references to former Victorian Premier John Brumby as a “skippy poof” and string of vulgar comments that brought into question former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s gender.

Mokbel issued a statement today apologising for the language, saying it does not reflect the tone or discipline he intends to bring to Canberra.

“Those tweets were made under extraordinary stress,” said Mokbel.

“I have undergone a significant period of personal growth since then and have engaged in sensitivity training. I have apologised and I think it’s best if we move on.”

Despite a criminal history that includes drug importation, money laundering, and a failed attempt to escape extradition via Lebanon, the Liberal Party insists Mokbel embodies the values of its founder, Sir Robert Menzies.

“Tony is a passionate advocate for personal responsibility, entrepreneurship and small government,” said a party spokesperson.

“He’s lived it. He’s built and scaled a successful enterprise, managed complex offshore logistics, and believes government should stay out of people’s lives.”

While critics have pointed to his 30-year sentence and the $1 million bounty once placed on his head, the party remains unmoved.

“The real concern here is the tweets,” said the spokesperson.

“But he’s taken ownership. That’s leadership.”

More to come.

Whilst it's true that I do have some right-wing opinions on some issues, none of them are extremist. Likewise, I have some left-wing opinions. None of them extremist.

Trump & MAGA? No.

I understand the ethos behind some of the things MAGA is about. Trump is trying to achieve them according to the only way he knows: Bullying, Coercion & Extortion, but it's exactly that: TRYING...& failing dismally.

He proved to the entire world beyond a shadow of doubt in his last term, that he is completely unfit for the office of POTUS.

Why? Because he's NOT a LEADER - just a "Reality TV" celebrity & nothing more. A multiply-failed businessman, thinking that because he has the office, he can control the world.....& failing. He lost the office before (because of his incompetence) & what did he do? Spit the dummy like a tantrum-chucking toddler.

Somehow, we're back on the same chaotic merry-go-round.
