The #LNP has a candidate problem cont

“On March 5, #Yung admitted to falsely claiming he had raised $60,000 during an intimate dinner with #JohnHoward ahead of the 2019 state election. He did not specify how much was actually raised. Then revelations came out that the then-#Kogarah candidate engaged a *digital strategy firm* to undertake work potentially worth tens of thousands of dollars.

One month later, a leaked video of a speech Yung gave during a Lunar New Year celebration discredited previous efforts to distance himself from #XieXiongming, a #casino high roller linked to the #ChineseCommunistParty.”
