The Liberal Party plans to run several candidates of Muslim background in the forthcoming election.
The federal Opposition has clarified controversial comments by Liberal leader Peter Dutton in which he said Muslim political candidates from western Sydney would be a "disaster" after a Liberal councillor branded them "harmful" and said they made Dutton "unfit" to lead the party and country.
"This is not just a political misstep; it reflects poorly on our cause and commitment to inclusivity and respect for all Australians." Hadid questioned what Dutton's stance would be if the leader of the Opposition found himself in a minority government that included Muslims. He also pointed out the Liberal Party had endorsed candidates from the Muslim community.
