Feds to grill LNP candidate over address (NEWS.com.au)

A Queensland Liberal National Party candidate could be investigated by Australian Federal Police after allegedly lying about where he was living.

The AEC also said it has referred this matter to the AFP for investigation. But on Sunday, the Commission said “there is concern” the information on his enrolment and nomination forms is “false”. The publication said Mr Lobo has been living in the neighbouring electorate of Brisbane, rather than the address he provided in Lilley to the AEC, a property in Everton Park.

A review of his enrolment and candidate nomination forms prompted the referral to the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Electoral Commission said on Sunday.
