Daniel Andrews has stood by a candidate claiming to be a “proud Yorta Yorta woman” - despite a family member denying she is of Indigenous heritage.

In a campaign video for the at-risk Melbourne seat of Richmond, Lauren O’Dwyer describes herself as “a lesbian, single mum, a renter, director in the arts, footy coach and proud Yorta Yorta woman”.Mr Berry’s daughter has disputed that claim however, claiming Mr Berry has not identified as Indigenous.

You just dont get it do you, sky nonsense

This lady is a complete joke

Yorta Yucka, Yorta Yucka.. TurnYourBack

What sort of people would want to be represented by someone who pretends to be something they are not while denying what they really are?

Actually it is not complex at all. Just another Leftie pretending to be something they are not in the belief that lying virtue signalling will win them votes from the dimwitted sheeple.

Very complex like defining what a woman is. Really who votes for this charade?

“proud Rorter Rorter woman”

It’s ok to “Identify” as indigenous, she is just preparing to represent the indigenous identifiers with the “Voice” ItsANoFromMe BootDanOUT

Bloody joke .

Call out the federal police !!!

Red hair, an Irish sounding name, seems like some Yorta Yorta Indigenous guy made short work of her tenth generation Irish ancestry.

And he won't be answering any questions, because he already dealt with them.... Did you get some free Cocaine at the media political - after party ? Do you ever wonder why only some get invites ?

Even her own family didn’t know it

What he means by 'complex' is the polling. He needs her and he needs the controversy to go away. Fucking weak.

Fk he forgot his meds again...

Think I’m blacker then her

It's all good, as long as she doesn't identify as unvaccinated. He couldn't allow that.

How is it complex. either she IS or ISN'T

The white fella Bruce Pascoe has conned everybody into believing this so why not 'identify' as aboriginal? Because you are disrespecting this culture by appropriating their identity for grubby reason. She should be run out of town for her deception.

PutLaborLast

The Chairman himself is a proud DisIngenuous Man. He is a proud Man of the Australian LiarBird people. Not this kind...

Jail the liers he is a active child sex predator

‘Very complex’ my ass! You either are or you are not aboriginal.

Why aren’t indigenous groups calling out people like this? If we want to take indigenous issues seriously this nonsense needs to go.

I’m indigenous too, so I can reap all there benefits - what a rort

Haha 😂 indigenous my ass

The hypocrisy is staggering. PutLaborLast

I think she and others like her need to back up her heritage to get any creditability because if not it just leaves the way open for many others to jump on the bandwagon.

The great deception under Andrews continues.

Seeing people say Dan Andrews is better than the opposition is scary. Are there no independents you can vote for down there and show both parties they need to lift their game?

Anyone can claim to be indigenous why I don’t know but it is trendy to be aboriginal for the fact that you are entitled once you become aboriginal

FWDan you r making it complex with your bigoted rules LaborLast

I'm a proud white man and don't care much. Stop labelling.

Liar and corrupt Dan.

Australia has no requirement to confirm indigenous heritage. A 100% Anglo Saxon, Chinese, African, Mid Easterner or Caucasian is able to claim benefits now & the future. I refuse to take indigenous issues seriously until this is fixed. Simple DNA test?🙄

If everyone identified as a proud Australian,this crap would disappear and save the commonwealth lots of money.

What’s complex Lauren ? The free money you can get ?

Despite her family saying she is making it up

A redheaded pale person with an Irish surname is COMPLEX

Of course. He lies why shouldnt his candidates

LNPNeverAgain

Ffs.. that’s an as indigenous as the man in the moon 😂😂😂

😃😅😆🤣

Not with that red hair & complexion!

Why so many fakes if aboriginals were really victims of ongoing discrimination?

PutLaborLast

What about the Neo-nazis the Liberals are preferring?

JanV12363871 Maybe she lying to get extra money from centrelink

FAJERS .. Labor are false disgraceful Liars

🤣🤣🤣🤣

She's as much 1st nation as I am an Arab

PutLaborLast

Andrews is not fit to lead Victoria. Who are the Nazis ?

Same as Pascoe. Apparently you only have to identify as indigenous.

Rorta Rorta?

🤣🤣🤣 she has all the other qualifications of a labor politician according to that!!

More lies and deception from DanielAndrewsMP

MurdochGutterMedia

She lies the chairman’s only language is lying Two peas in a pod

She can identify if she wants after all he is identifying as a leader

After all the controversy coming from Lib candidates, Sky opinions has become desperate.

MurdochGutterMedia inciting derision on our indigenous people. We need a MurdochRoyalCommission

Somehow this is Dan Andrews fault? Sky News is a parody of itself.

It’s the year of ‘I identify’ as…..

But you’re good with the nazis and crazy Christians? Sounds like sky

Sky ffs get a life

Irish name and with her ginger hair looks Irish . People try anything to get onto the super gravy train .

Of course he would - lying is part of his DNA

😆

Cool, what about the literal white supremacists who are embedding themselves into conservative politics?

As indigenous as Bruce Pascoe

She is definitely ranga ranga

Unbelievable.

This is the level of integrity you expect from Dan.

What a dope.

It’s ok, if you belong to the Labour Party then you get a free pass to identify yourself as any minority group that suits your agenda or income stream lol 😂

So anyone can identify as a First Nations people now and this is OK with the government?

He'll defend anyone or anything that can ' buy ' him votes.

She’s a ranga, end of story

More Dan Andrews lies and deception!

Steak night.

He'll support anybody and anything if he thinks it might enhance his chances of winning the State election. Hey Dan, I'm marketing an elixir that will see you Premier for another 6 years. No cost.

PutLaborLast

Maybe she’s a Sorta Sorta woman 🥴

Typical of activists lying through their teeth

i am a proud koala man

Bigots, she identifies as indigenous

Well of course he does. He's a corrupt, dishonest, lying fascist grub and birds of a feather flock together.

Victorian MP under fire for calling for Premier Daniel Andrews to be turned into 'red mist'Police are investigating and politicians have issued condemnations after Independent Victorian MP Catherine Cumming gave a speech seemingly calling for Premier Daniel Andrews to be attacked. 9News Good. Glad to see others outside of Labor coming out to condemn this. We must stomp such inciteful rhetoric right from the start. A hard no to the violent and extremist Republican style politics in the US. There is no doubt she was calling for an attack on the Premier. No doubt. As opposed to the actual attacks Dan ordered on legal protestors. Remember his police shooting people in the backs with rubber bullets? Spraying pepper spray into the faces of grandmothers?
