Premier Attacks One Nation’s Candidate Records | Australia News

Western Australia’s Premier Roger Cook is unleashing a fiery attack on One Nation, accusing them of fielding candidates with criminal histories—including rape convictions—just as the Secret Harbour byelection heats up. Defending his Labor candidate Georgia Tree, who sparked controversy by hinting at “skeletons in the closet,” Cook praises her for speaking truth to power, contrasting her courage with what he calls One Nation’s disgraceful choices. One Nation’s leader Rod Caddies fires back, calling the Premier’s tactics “desperate and bizarre,” accusing Labor of dirty politics. The feud comes amid a history of One Nation’s own scandals: their national leader was rehired after serving time for rape, and a SA candidate was dumped over UK sexual assault allegations. Cook argues Labor is now stronger by championing women, urging voters to make a clear choice at the polls. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
