Deves rejected speculation Morrison deliberately chose her as a candidate to fuel a culture war aimed at picking up migrant votes, saying she was one of eight women the prime minister wanted to promote.Once a safe blue ribbon seat, Warringah is now deemed a safe independent one, held by Zali Steggall who defeated Abbott at the last election by a margin of 7.2 per cent.“All I wanted to do was stand up for the people of Warringah and give them a voice back,” Katherine Deves says.
Describing herself as neither conservative nor moderate, Deves said she voted for same-sex marriage. She said she was distressed‘I wouldn’t be human if I said this whole process hasn’t affected me.’ as “surgically mutilated and sterilised” and likening her campaign to standing up for the Jews against the Nazis set off a storm.Deves said a lot of her comments had been “decontexualised” and “misinterpreted”. She apologised for the language but did not resile from her position that women and girls had the right to a female-only sports category.
“I wouldn’t be human if I said this whole process hasn’t affected me, to see it turned into what it was turned into by the press. I was distraught and it caused me distress,” she said.
latikambourke 'People found out I'm a horrible bigot and Scotty's attempt at dog whistling to the far right totally backfired. Feel sorry for me.' - There. Fixed that for you.
latikambourke You are Ms coalition perfect not making anything wrong
latikambourke For a silenced woman you sure don’t shut up.
latikambourke What she meant to say is: 'that's the plan. The LiberalAus under ScottMorrisonMP are seeking to establish a fascist theocracy.' Fixed it. auspol AustraliaVotes AusPol2022
latikambourke Let’s get this straight The person who believes and has said that the “LGBTIQ community is a hydra and it’s head needs removing and burying” is your cover story Well here is my rebuttal “The Deves Tapes” auspol
latikambourke SMH wheels out this toxic hatred to distract from the real arguments to increase the minimum wage. All to appease Peter Costello and big business. Supporting the govts culture war 🐃💩 against vulnerable groups, again.
latikambourke Transparent and harmful dog whistling. I’m disgusted.
latikambourke 👏this 👏 is 👏 horseshit 👏 journalism 👏

latikambourke Why not interview trans people about how her hatred and lies have effected them? Why does Australian media constantly give a platform to people like this? Fucking pathetic.
latikambourke 'Independent. Always.' Nope. Running a screen for Peter Costello. AusPol AusVotes
latikambourke Why give this fcking garbage a platform?
latikambourke That’s a big smile on that tearful face. Narcissistic bully springs to mind
latikambourke I look forward to your front page dedicated to trans kids and the impacts her wild theories and commentary has had on the community. I also look forward to her losing badly in Warringah and never hearing from her again.
latikambourke Ordinary Australians are struggling to put food on the table and this is your front page? This is playing the fiddle whilst Rome burns kind of stuff ThisIsNotJournalism
latikambourke She doesn't care. Morrison doesn't care. If he's going down he's taking people with him- and possibly the entire party. Can't wait! auspol ausvotes

latikambourke It’s never a liberals fault on anything it seems, always someone else’s fault, just ask Morrison he says it every day, not my fault, not my job, and I reject the premise of the question! I guess it won’t be his fault when he looses government too…

latikambourke DaveSharma any response to the PM’s hand picking and unbridled support for this candidate?
latikambourke Promoting hate 'the other' propaganda with a smiling face, a campaign Abbott is actively promoting who was booted out with big loss at the last election repulses and disgusts people of course. Hard-RW narrative appeals most to extremists - ausvotes socialdecay
latikambourke ThisIsNotJournalism
latikambourke A normal newspaper doesn’t give a sympathetic headline and front page photo to a Liberal Party candidate with no chance of winning.
latikambourke Your front page headline on this was disgusting, as was the fact you placed it on the front page. Glad I cancelled my subscription months ago
lynlinking latikambourke This is fake news.
latikambourke The majority of voters do not care about fringe issues like trans women in sport. They care about the economy, job security, health and education. The failings in these areas are what is losing seats for the LNP.
lynlinking latikambourke Costello steno Latika Bourke chips in to help Morrison on the campaign trail. Consider dumping Costello’s TheAge & supporting independent journalism & journalists instead.
latikambourke You’re losing a subscriber by uncritically platforming a transphobe on your front page while providing nothing at all to counter her hatred, no support services for trans people who will see this front page & say “where’s our front page, since we are the victims here?”
latikambourke
latikambourke Can you stop platforming this absurd person. Thanks. auspol
latikambourke Political interference…
latikambourke Shame on you for this piece of disinformation spreading hate.
latikambourke You're platforming and repeating someone who gets massive media coverage claiming she doesn't get it. You're repeating her false claims about women's sport. When you repeat Deves lies dozens of times you make them seem true. But:
latikambourke Platforming this is really reprehensible given that your colleague Niki Savva has called out the dog-whistling for what it is. How about some reporting on the way this dog-whistle is being secretly weaponised on WeChat for homophobia?
latikambourke Ahh, yes it is Kathy.
latikambourke It isn't her fault because she's just a mouthpiece for Scott's PMO. It's Scott's fault:
latikambourke Tearful young trans people 'here we go again.' You surveyed me when I cancelled my subscription. This is one of my reasons. Gaslighting, biased crap. I went elsewhere. I will never support a paper that supports bullying of any group in society.
latikambourke Of all the issues facing Australia this crap is what you are leading your front page with 1 week out from the election?
latikambourke TONY needs to get involved..........
latikambourke BevanShields you giving this transphobic grub a platform? Did Joshy tell the big boss Costello to organise that while they were campaigning together yesterday? Independent, always 🙄
latikambourke Katherine showing why Morrison rated her. Shares his obsession with blame shifting.
latikambourke Nice photos. Did the Prime Ministers Office give you those?
latikambourke Of all the candidates to feature you pick this evil woman. How about her innocent victims?
latikambourke
latikambourke I hope lots of so-called Liberals lose seats. Turnbull support teal 'independents'.
