(Age) Victorian Labor is trying to distance itself from a Darebin Council candidate accused of Islamophobia who has been using the party’s logo.
Sofia Kotanidis, who has corflutes and other campaign material bearing Labor’s logo, shared dozens of anti-Islamic news articles, petitions and blog posts, including one that said Muslims should “get the f— out of our countries and go back to the monstrous shitholes you came from.”
Ms Kotanidis, who is also the deputy chair of the Darebin Ethnic Communities Council, is one of 10 candidates for the inner-north council in a group called Labor Members for Darebin.
Federal Labor MP Ged Kearney spoke at a campaign launch for three of the group’s other members.
