Albany doctor and local councillor Thomas Brough has been approved for preselection for the Liberal Party, despite making controversial comments about the LGBTQIA+ community.

The WA Liberal Party State Council has voted to approve Albany doctor and local councillor Thomas Brough 's preselection for the seat of Albany .

Local Liberal branch members chose Dr Brough as their candidate late last month for the state seat of Albany at next year's state election. Perth Lord Mayor and Liberal candidate for Churchlands Basil Zempilas said after the party's state council meeting, Dr Brough would be the candidate representing the seat of Albany "as the best person for that job" despite his remarks."They don't reflect the values of the Liberal Party.

"He's a doctor and well respected in the local community for his community service and his work in the local community and that's why he was selected as the candidate to represent that local area.""At the last state election, they were annihilated so they're really struggling, but I think, you know, they've sort of got this tacky Trump tribute act to be the candidate for Albany… and it's a shame for Albany, I think we can do better.
