One Nation’s leader, Pauline Hanson, has been blindsided by the news one of her Townsville candidates has been linked to a sex shop that posted an inappropriate Facebook message about domestic violence.
The senator was with her party’s candidate for the seat of Thuringowa, Mark Thornton, when he confirmed at a press conference the he owns the adult store Cupids Cabin.
The business’s Facebook page, which Thornton said was managed by his wife, posted in January 2016: “Good sex should be in the gray area between ‘tickle fight’ and domestic violence.”
