The Liberal party announced on Thursday night it had parted ways with the candidate "You're clearly accepting and you're clearly endorsing that behaviour," the group said in a statement."The Liberal Party and all parties need to make it clear that we're no longer accepting these views. They should be educating their candidates, they should be vetting them better." The Liberal candidate went on to call the alleged rapist a 'victim'.

"The standard you walk by is the standard you accept," Mr Morrison said as he criticised Bill Shorten for a delay in disendorsing Luke Creasey who shared a rape joke on Facebook. in October 2017, Mr Singh raised concerns about the children of same-sex marriages.
