Calls for PM to sack Jeremy Hearn over Muslim slurs

The Labor Party is calling on Scott Morrison to sack Victorian Liberal candidate Jeremy Hearn after he described Muslims as people of ‘bad character who should not be given Australian citizenship’. Mr Hearn posted the comments online last year adding, Muslim schools should not be given tax dollars because they are ‘a rebellion against the government’ and all Muslims subscribe to an ideology of killing or enslaving Australians if they do not convert to Islam. The Liberal candidate for Isaacs in Melbourne’s southeast went on to say that Muslims were trying to overthrow Australia’s political and legal systems with Sharia Law. Mr Hearn has apologised unreservedly for the comments, but has not stepped down, nor has the Liberal Party dropped him as a candidate. Image: Jeremy Hearn Facebook
