Robyn Ingraham said she had made the party aware of the photos but pressure from ‘higher\u002Dups’ forced her out
The former candidate said that following the question she was asked to call the communications director, where she was led to believe that everything was okay and she would proceed as the candidate. However, the following morning, Ingraham said an hour before she was to leave to meet Liberal Leader Ian Rankin, she received a call from her contact saying the images the party was previously made aware of were surfacing and that higher-up party officials were worried.
“I was furious. I sat for three hours and wrote an email to the premier about how this affected me and how their decisions made them look,” said Ingraham, emphasizing that mental illness was not the reason for her exiting the campaign. “I was told you had my back,” the email reads. “The misogynistic behaviour from those above you is not tolerable. It’s not my job to make old white men comfortable.”
