The Liberal Party candidate for the high-profile Western Sydney seat of Fowler has apologized for a series of offensive social media messages that have been discovered by ABC News.
Warning: This article contains racist and offensive language.
Vivek Singha said he regretted several posts on social media, in which he used a different term for indigenous Australians and also focused on the federal minister of Environment Tanya Pliberse about a personal family issue.
The posts on X date from 2023, in the run -up to the voice to the parliament referendum in which he insisted on a ‘no’ voice.
In October 2023, an anti-voice post was from his account: “50k per a **, which is already being issued, they want 500k per head.”
Mr. Singha issued several messages from August to October 2023 with the help of derogatory terminology. ((Delivered: Vivek Singha))
The social media platform marked it as a possible violation of its rules against “hateful content”.
From August to October 2023, Mr. Signha placed several times with the help of comparable terminology for people from First Nations.
In one message he claimed: “Everyone has to wake up with the sleeping limezags (the Alboriginals).”
The messages from Vivek Singha date from 2023, in the run -up to the voting referendum. ((Delivered: Vivek Singha))
In October 2023, an anti-stamp of the bill also seemed to focus on Minister of Environment Tanya Plibersek, after her daughter had experienced domestic violence through the hands of a former partner.
It said: “The worst of everything, why are you @tanya_plibersek of all people who stood for others if you couldn’t even provide your own daughters (sic) safety … Anyword (sic) who comes from this person is as good as a puff pastry the back
More than a week later, fragments from Media reports about the husband of Minister Plibersek were shared on the comment with the comment: “Wow, it’s a great team (not) that now leads the nation !!! That’s why her daughter became Bashed.”
Mr. Singha also focused on the Federal Minister of Environment Tanya Plibersek. ((X: Vivek Singha))
Mrs. Plibersek is married to prominent NSW officer Michael Coutts-Trotter, who openly spoke about his conviction for the import of heroin and drug addiction in the 1980s.
Social Media account made inactively
The X account became inactive on Sunday afternoon after the ABC contacted a spokesperson for the Liberal Party for Comment.
Mr. Singha said in a statement to the ABC: “I should not have expressed my apologies for the reports on social media, I should not have expressed myself that way and I sincerely regret it.”

Singha is not expected to claim Fowler’s seat, which is seen as a competition between independent MP DAI Le and Labor candidate TU Le.
Labor lost the seat in 2022 after he tried to parachute former Senator Kristina Keneaful in the multicultural electorate.
But the rise of the items will raise questions about the screening of NSW -Liberal candidates.
Earlier this month, the Liberal Party dumped its candidate for the NSW seat of Whitlam, Ben Britton, after video arose from the former soldier who claimed that the Australian defense force “should remove women from Combat Corps” to “repair” the army.
“Their hips are being destroyed because they cannot handle wearing the heavy loads,” he said.
The NSW liberals said that Mr. Britton’s views were not consistent with the position of the party.
