Labor cuts ties with actor Rhys Muldoon, a former Play School performer, after resurfaced social media posts are condemned as racist and extremist.
Multiple outlets report the decision involves a first-term senator who moves to distance Labor from Muldoon over older tweets. The posts reportedly include use of the N-word and comparisons linking former Aboriginal affairs minister Jacinta Price to a Nazi collaborator. The coverage describes the statements as “abhorrent,” but does not indicate that new, additional allegations are being made beyond the resurfaced posts.
Across the reports, the core details are consistent: the posts are from Muldoon’s past social media activity, they are criticized for hate-related language and historical references, and Labor’s response is to sever ties. The outlets primarily differ only in wording and emphasis, rather than in the underlying facts about what the posts contain or what action Labor takes.
