Greens candidate resigns after drugs, shoplifting boasts

[Ron The Bear]

A Greens candidate has dramatically quit the state election race after it emerged she had posted tips on stealing groceries and bragged she was "the baddest shoplifter there is".

In the Facebook conversation about shoplifting, Ms Nilson said she loved “just strolling out with a hot chook”.

“Take a plastic bag full of other stuff put it in your basket and then load all the expensive stuff in that take it out and go through the checkout with that on your arm pop through a soda water … Bingo $70 of groceries for 70c,” Ms Nilson said in one post.

In another post on the “Bad Gals Club”, Ms Nilson said she was struggling with a hangover and added: “I stink of the weed in my bag.”

Ms Nilson also said a service that home-delivered “nangs” — small canisters holding nitrous oxide gas for whipped cream, which some people inhale for a quick high — “sounds like a dream”.

“Fk how good R nangs,” she wrote.

An anomaly who somehow advanced to pre-selection, or just your typical Green?

 

[CheapCharlie]

More top shelf Green candidates.
Being a narcissist is high on the requirements

 

[RupieDupie]

The most redeeming part of this story is she quit... now we just need the rest of the thieving politicians to do the same thing

 

[Pulsedriver]

Her behaviour is hardly surprising, as she's just your run-of-the-mill feminist.

 

[Benny78]

I like her. I'd vote for her over any of the s**t in the liberal party. When you look at it more and see Woolworths and Coles are actually stealing from us, people like her are held in high esteem like that Che Guevara guy

And what does she mean "a jew in the liberal party" lol? I honestly never see the LNP as anything close to being Nazi's

 

[Dayan Warna]

At least an honest thief.
A better level of scumbag than the delusional libs and labs who steal and just get a demotion to the back bench for 3 months

Facebook is a great tool for vetting

 

[radiojake]

She is just one of the first of many who will shoot themselves in the foot from stupid s**t posted on fb/twitter from well before they even contemplated a move to politics/business/media etc

I think it's great - this is one of the exact reasons i think FB is for ******* morons - some of the incriminating stuff people post is actually insane

Though at the same time who was the dog journalist scrolling through 4 yr old FB posts raking for mud?

All parties do this stupid s**t (pick poor candidates) when they lack discipline in preselection and initial vetting

Greens should be getting better at this though, as they are no longer a shoe string budget small fry party

Qualifies as a non dual citizen though

I've done all that (and worse) so have most kids

This could only be worse if she was already in parliament, leader of the party, had dinners with organised crime bosses, accepted donations from organised crime bosses, and the party knew yet refused to do anything about it.

Facebook is often the first point of reference for most employers to get an insight into a candidate's character. Then Instagram, Twitter, YouTube if they have a page there (I know, a Darwin supervisor liked my Chinese New Year fireworks videos from 10 years ago. How did he find out my profile page?)


And then Reddit and even BigFooty if their alias is known.

Funny how the ones who whinge about things like businesses stealing wages and mistreating workers are also the ones who do the same s**t themselves. Just a bit of a hypocrite aren't you?

You would never be able to understand the difference

Fortunately, thinking people can

You're 100% correct because there is no difference. If you think there is a difference then you are simply delusional.

A Greens member steals from a big supermarket, big f***ing deal, the Liberal party have been wholesale thieving from the country for the last five years.

Deflector shields for low life shop lifters?

Difficult to vet I would have thought as the comments were in a private group.
Will freely admit little knowledge of vetting processes of any political party.
Only positive is she owned the comments and stepped aside.

I think they see themselves as justified in a Robin Hood style with themselves as the poor recipient as well.

Would be party staffers leaking to the press - the muck-raking units of the two major parties is well resourced.

Was Medibank Private the Libs' private property that they were entitled to do as they please with and sell off? Bollocks it was, it belonged to us and they stole it.

It has about as much to do with this thread as your hero Mr Shorten's plan to steal dividend refunds off battlers like myself.
