LIBERAL CANIDATE DELETES FACEBOOK POST WHICH ENDORSED LABOR
Transcript
Outgoing Cessnock Liberal Councilor Karen Jackson has recently caused a stir in local politics. After publicly endorsing the Labor Party on her Facebook page last week, Jackson has since deleted her posts. In her initial endorsement, she urged voters with the message, “Vote 1 Labor. Those who cannot bring themselves to vote for Labor should consider backing a ‘real’ independent candidate,” and even shared Labor’s how-to-vote cards.
This endorsement comes amid a backdrop of controversy. Jackson was previously involved in the Liberal Party’s paperwork scandal, which saw hundreds of candidates miss the critical cutoff date. Her recent actions have led to questions about her political alignment and credibility. The abrupt deletion of her posts adds to the confusion, leaving many to wonder if Jackson is experiencing an identity crisis or if there are deeper issues at play in her political career.
