One Nation Victoria candidate apologises for slew of offensive comments about lesbians, Indians and Julia Gillard

Exclusive: Chris Moore, running for the party in Greenvale, made derogatory social media comments between 2010 and 2012

A One Nation candidate in Victoria has apologised for a series of offensive comments including repeated references to Australian-Indians as “curry munchers”, comparing a woman in burqa to a bag of rubbish, and sharing an image calling Julia Gillard a slut.

The party’s candidate for Greenvale on Melbourne’s north-western fringe, Chris Moore, also made derogatory comments about lesbians and refugees and once posted that he “doesn’t like the way the new homo cleaner at work looks at me”.
