The West Australian Liberal Party candidate that Opposition Leader Zak Kirkup blocked from answering questions about whether she shared the same views on homosexuality as her pastor husband says her faith should not be the subject of constant interrogation.
On Saturday Amanda-Sue Markham still did not say whether she shared the same views as her husband.
Mrs Markham, who is running for the seat of Victoria Park, was asked on Friday by a
Nine News Perth reporter if she agreed with comments made by her husband Campbell Markham that homosexuals can be âcleansedâ and âhealedâ. But Mr Kirkup stepped in to deflect the question and then refused to let her speak for herself.
