Leaflet ‘dirty work’

Labor’s Wentworth candidate George Newhouse lashed out at the alleged relationship between the Exclusive Brethren and the Liberal Party during his address at the ALP policy forum on same-sex issues last week.
A leaflet had been distributed in parts of Wentworth that warned against voting Labor or Green under the banner Keep Australia Christian.
The two parties were accused of the destruction of families through supporting gay marriage and same-sex adoption, and turning a blind eye to drugs, prostitution, pornography and immigration from non-Christian countries.
Although the leaflet contains no authorisation required for political advertising, Newhouse believed the extremist material could be the work of the Exclusive Brethren.
He called on Wentworth MP Malcolm Turnbull to condemn the material.
I think most residents in Wentworth would find the views espoused in this leaflet offensive, he said.
I’ve never shied away from my Jewish faith or my preparedness to stand up for gay and lesbian rights.
