Another federal election candidate is in hot water for racist and sexist remarks posted on social media.
United Australia Party candidate Tony Hanley, who is running for the new seat of Bean in the ACT, called Saudi Arabians "tea towel heads" and described the children of taxi drivers as "future terrorists".
Mr Hanley also referred to women as "dykes" and "big fat fugly chicks" and made disparaging remarks about LGBTI people.
The posts were made on a since-deleted Facebook page under Mr Hanley's name.
Mr Hanley told the ABC his posts were "defendable" and pointed to his record of community work.
