Liberal candidate for the seat of Warringah Katherine Deves has come under fire for posting about and praising aspects of the far-right forum Kiwi Farms.
In a string of now-deleted tweets from 2021, Deves seemingly encourages her followers to visit Kiwi Farms, calling it a “valuable” source of information.
“They have collated information and data on quite a number of unsavoury individuals that is not easily accessible,” one of the tweets said.
One reply to this tweet congratulates Deves for being “a farmer”, a term for someone who frequents the site.
