One Nation disendorses Victorian election candidate Franco Guardiani after social media posts emerge that appear to praise Adolf Hitler. Multiple outlets report the party’s decision follows scrutiny of online comments linked to Guardiani.
Outlet reports differ slightly in what they highlight about the posts and the timing. One Nation is described as removing or dumping Guardiani, with some coverage noting he no longer appears on the party’s candidate website. Other reporting focuses on the wording attributed to his private social media account, including language framed as admiration for Hitler.
The Guardian adds more detail about the posts’ content, describing a “GOAT” reference to Hitler and another claim about Islam and pedophilia. Meanwhile, PerthNow and The West Australian present the same core development—Guardiani’s removal after the pro-Hitler post—without adding further quoted material in their summaries. The Daily Mail emphasizes that the candidate may still appear on the ballot despite being dropped by the party.
