Liberal Candidate Drops Out Over Controversial Comments

0:00I'm Cory with the story, bringing you the latest from Adelaide News today. South Australia's liberal leader, Ashton Hurn, has announced that candidate Karsten Woodhouse is out of the race for the upcoming state election. His removal calms after old comments surfaced from an American podcast, where he criticized Islam, feminism, same-sex marriage, and what he called the, Trans Agenda. Those remarks gained fresh attention when labor played them at a press conference this morning. House also voiced opposition to a planned 2024 ban on the Nazi salute and swastika in the state. Hurn made it clear she does not support his views. She stood firm on her position from the day before, emphasizing that the party wants nothing to do with those opinions ahead of the vote. Details on whether Woodhouse quit or got the boot remain under wraps. Hurn simply stated he's no longer running for the Northeastern Adelaide seat. Here today, liberal MP Ben Hood had told ABC radio Adelaide that Woodhouse was still in the running, highlighting some initial confusion within the process.
