LNP Candidate Criticized for Hitler Moustache Joke

Opposition Leader David Crisafulli condemns Bree James's social media post as 'wrong' and 'not funny', sparking backlash.

LNP candidate Bree James faced criticism for posting a photo of her campaign banner defaced with a Hitler moustache on social media.
James's post was intended to promote a local German festival but was quickly deleted after backlash and an apology was issued.
Opposition Leader David Crisafulli publicly reprimanded James, stating the joke was unacceptable and expressing his disappointment.
The Anti-Defamation Commission condemned the post, arguing it trivialized the Holocaust and Nazi symbolism.
The incident has drawn comparisons to a past controversy involving a Labor MP, highlighting sensitivities around Nazi imagery in politics.
