Dave Tollner Facebook page closed

FACEBOOK shut down a politician’s page after receiving complaints it carried an “offensive attack” on indigenous locals.

Dave Tollner, who won the inner Darwin seat of Fong Lim for the Country
Liberal Party at the last election, caused outrage after he wrote on
his page that itinerants were “parasites terrorising innocent citizens”.

He said that he was “sick to death” of them and warned that “the fun will
be over for these parasites on the very day we get a Country Liberal
government in the Territory”.

Many people left angry messages on his page, one going so far as to accuse him of advocating
“genocide”. However, there were just as many messages of support.

Mr Tollner’s Facebook page was suspended for two weeks and has only recently come back online.

However, within minutes of the site functioning again  a left-wing political activist posted a cartoon of a Ku Klux Klansman.

Mr Tollner said that he did not expect such a strong reaction from his
comments, adding: ”Political correctness has never been my strong
point.”

He accused Labor activists of lobbying Facebook to shut down his profile page.

However, the man who posted the Klansman cartoon on the page is a Greens supporter.

Justin Tutty said the cartoon was Patrick Starfish from the Sponge Bob Square
Pants children’s television show drawn as a Klansman.
