February 10, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Would-be politician Elise Cottam has been dumped as the One Nation candidate for Callide at the next State election.<\/p>\n

Ms Cottam, from Childers, was disendorsed on Thursday after a deadline passed for her to pay the party $2400 to help cover the costs of the State campaign.<\/p>\n

She told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> that she was disappointed with decision but she hoped to continue in politics.<\/p>\n

“Maybe another party will come along and have a look,” she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Cottam stood for Bundaberg Mayor at the 2016 Local Government elections where she secured 9.93 per cent of first preference votes.<\/p>\n

She then stood for One Nation in the seat of Wide Bay at the 2016 Federal Election, capturing 15.6 per cent of the primary vote.<\/p>\n

Ms Cottam said she had decided not to pay the $2400 because her son-in-law could do the same work for a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n

“And business cards you can just order them on the internet,” she said.<\/p>\n

She is heavily involved with her local SES, and does training and assessment for them … which is all volunteer work.<\/p>\n

One Nation campaign director Michael Pucci said Ms Cottam had agreed to pay the fee when she was endorsed in December.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Unfortunately Ms Cottam chose to not comply with the requirements for documentation and fees she had previously agreed upon; therefore Pauline Hanson’s One Nation (PHON) Queensland State Executive has removed the party’s endorsement for Ms Cottam to stand as PHON candidate,” Mr Pucci said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“The party believes in giving everyone a fair go; however, when one does not live up to the standards set and they choose not to follow through on agreements made, the party cannot just stand by and let it happen.”<\/p>\n

Ms Cottam is the fourth One Nation candidate to be axed recently.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bundamba candidate\u00a0Shan Ju Lin was dumped in early January after making anti-gay posts on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Mulgrave candidate Peter Rogers was let go later the same month after a media storm over a post on his website alleging the Port Arthur massacre and the death of a Syrian toddler at sea were hoax news.<\/p>\n

The candidate for Currumbin, Andy Semple, withdrew his candidacy in December after refusing to delete a tweet when asked by party officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
