Another One Nation bites the dust

-

ANOTHER One Nation candidate has been dumped in mysterious circumstan­ces.

John Cox, who survived as Redcliffe candidate in January when inflammato­ry comments he made on social media questionin­g 9/11 were made public, has now been disendorse­d.

State Leader Steve Dickson confirmed the decision would not reveal why.

Mr Cox is the latest in a string of candidates to drop out ahead of the Queensland poll.

Former Bundamba candidate Shan Ju Lin was disendorse­d after posting anti-gay comments and Peter Rogers was dumped from running in but Mulgrave over claims the Port Arthur massacre was faked.

Damien Emery dropped out in Pumiceston­e for business reasons; Mark Ellis resigned in Macalister citing abuse and threats; and Currumbin candidate, Andy Semple, quit after refusing to remove a tweet joking about the LGBTI community.
