A Liberal National party candidate for the Queensland election has been recorded telling a voter “I am pro-life” and claiming that abortion “can increase the risk of breast cancer”, but that she couldn’t “say anything yet because we have got to get elected”.
The audio of Stretton LNP candidate Freya Ostapovitch, secretly recorded at a pre-poll booth this week, was obtained by Guardian Australia on Friday.
