The Liberal candidate for Bennelong, Scott Yung, appears to be distancing himself from the party as a paid ad tells the Chinese-Australian diaspora that he does not “blindly follow” instructions, highlighting his previous criticism of Scott Morrison.
A Chinese language ad, launched on the Australian Financial News WeChat page on Thursday morning, carried the headline “He once publicly criticised his party leader” and highlighted Yung’s “independent thinking”.
