An embattled Liberal election candidate is facing more questions about her social media activity after further anti-Muslim posts bearing her name emerged.

Scott Morrison said the Liberal Party was referring the earlier posts to police

He said it was possible her social media account was hacked, hence the referral to police for investigation, and refused further commentaccused in Tasmania's Parliament on Thursday of making several Islamophobic comments on FacebookShe denied responsibility for one of those posts on Thursday, suggesting a Facebook screenshot had been digitally manipulated.

The ABC has obtained the screenshots but is unable to verify whether Ms Whelan made the comments, which were posted on a Facebook account that appears to be deleted. One comment in July 2017 called for a national vote on whether to ban people of the Islamic faith from entering Australia."How about we have a referendum on whether or not we close our borders to Muslims? Now that I would vote for!"

Silly girl when the spot light is on you. you cant say what most people are thinking.

Conservatives. Always the victim.

Standing alongside Eric. Surprise!

ipatch169 This is what happens when Leaders kill off political correctness as Howard did in 1996 & Abbott in 2013. It opened the floodgates for racism, misogyny and public bullying based on ignorance with the intention to deceive and divide. A Democratic gov governs for all.

Stupid.

Does the ABC have a story regarding Labor’s candidate Luke Casey I guess Not !

What happens when no evidence of digital manipulation is found? Will she be charged for making a false report?

Were my eyes deceiving me today ? PM and his wife were shielding her Shielding a racist and in my humble opinion a liar too

What a sweet kid. Not!

Can anyone tell me why ejection , I mean Election Day is a secret ? No where is the date mentioned . Postal vote papers arrived but I couldn’t find a date anywhere ? Oh well ....

BluuSkies Gremlins have been busy 🇦🇺👍

What about the homophobic Andrew Hastie? Wouldn’t even follow his electorats views in the gay marriage plebiscite. canningvotes

Gee, what seems more plausible: her account was hacked multiple times or she is another racist liberal candidate?

ASIO and AFP are going to be very busy... First Al-Jazera set up One Nation and now Liberal's candidate Facebook hacked...

Hacked yeah right, only seems to happen to LNP pollies & candidates when they are caught out

Extremism!

Methinks this LNP goose down Tasmania way is well and truly cooked AusVotes2019 auspol

Calls for Morrison to sack Liberal candidate over anti-Muslim, conspiracy-laden rantLabor is calling for Prime Minister Scott Morrison to sack Liberal candidate Jeremy Hearn after a recent social media post surfaced that revealed controversial opinions he now says are not right. No need to sack him. There are a lot of Christian hating Muslims out there. I’d sack him for retracting. How is this remotely controversial? Individual muslims may think a lot of things, but Islam certainly tells them to do this. That’s why we have these in our cities.

Liberal candidate Jeremy Hearn dumped for anti-Muslim remarksAnother candidate for One Nation is embroiled in a sleazy scandal after social media posts emerged overnight. How are they are a legitimate political party is beyond me. Do the Australian public really want a bunch of fascist dopes with criminal records to lead our nation. The rest of the world is laughing at us If I had a bit of spare time I would name pollies who are sleeze bags, going way back to Billy and the pro - up to Frazer and no pants and lots more very recently. After 25 years as a politician Pauline has still not mastered the skill of picking decent candidates for her party(s). As a voter that should tell you all you need to know.

Liberal candidate 'made anti-Muslim comments', Tasmanian Parliament toldJessica Whelan, the Liberal candidate for Lyons, is accused of saying feminists supporting sharia law should have their genitals mutilated and that Muslims should be banned from Australia. Sorry - a private person cannot 'launch' a police investigation. She can request one, but the police then decide whether or not to 'launch' an actual investigation. wasting police resources.... With a result after the election like the water corruption inquiry

'Martyrdom, bro': FBI thwarts Muslim convert's plan to attack Nazi rallyMark Domingo had also suggested attacks on Jews, police officers, churches, a military facility and Southern California freeways. Jews are Nazi sympathisers ? This is from your own story 😂😂😂 The media’s and politicians’ reaction to Christchurch has incited this violence. Dear - your headline states 'Nazi rally', but later the article mentions 'white nationalists'. Do you think that these are interchangeable terms? In what way are white nationalists Nazis?
