A Queensland political candidate has revealed his party’s proposed laws to allow lethal force against home intruders could have seriously injured him, after admitting to his criminal past.Michael Pugh, the Katter’s Australia Party candidate for the seat of Mundingburra in Townsville, disclosed he was charged with breaking and entering and stealing in the early 2000s.
Pugh’s criminal past has not deterred him from supporting one of the party’s major policy proposals known as Castle Law.The law would give victims of home invasions the right to use “whatever force necessary” to protect themselves and others within their home against intruders.However, Pugh conceded if the policy had been law during the period of his offences he may have been seriously injured.
