Former SA Labor MP Annabel Digance claims she was also a victim of her party’s racist flyer
Former South Australian Labor MP Annabel Digance says she was also a victim of a racist flyer put out during her 2014 state election campaign.
Key points:
- Annabel Digance and Carolyn Power fought elections against each other in 2014 and 2018
- Ms Digance has apologised for a racist flyer from 2014
- She says she was also hurt by it
Ms Digance spoke out about the flyer on Saturday after staying silent on the issue for seven years, prompting an apology from state secretary Reggie Martin, who approved it.
The flyer asked: “Can you trust Habib?” and featured a wall ridden with bullet holes.
Carolyn Habib — who has since married and changed her name to Carolyn Power — lost the 2014 election to Ms Digance but won in 2018.
