MP’s wife stands by Aldred

THE wife of a veteran federal Liberal MP who is close to John Howard has emerged as a key player in the embarrassing preselection of discredited former MP Ken Aldred.

Bev McArthur, who is married to federal MP Stewart McArthur and holds a spot on the state party’s administrative committee, is refusing to vote to dump Mr Aldred as Liberal candidate for the federal seat of Holt when the committee holds an emergency meeting tonight.

Sources told The Australian Ms McArthur was backing Mr Aldred despite the furore over his record of unsubstantiated attacks on prominent Jewish leaders.

“She’s sticking by him in defiance of the Prime Minister,” one source said.

Mr Howard and Treasurer Peter Costello have declared Mr Aldred’s preselection should be overturned - a view believed to be supported by the other 18 members of the administrative committee, including state Liberal leader Ted Baillieu.

Sources said Ms McArthur helped secure Mr Aldred’s 26-23 win in the preselection contest by contributing at least two votes from among her supporters.

Ms McArthur is vying for a spot as one of the four Victorian vice-presidents. Her marathon-running husband, who is 69, is one of the longest-serving MPs in federal parliament.

Ms McArthur is close to state upper house Liberal MP Inga Peulich, who has also been blamed for Mr Aldred’s win because two of her staff members - Gary Anderton and Michael Shepherdson - were lobbying local delegates on his behalf.

Ms McArthur has come under increasing pressure to publicly renounce Mr Aldred but has so far refused.

“Is she going to stick by a guywho’s a racist and an anti-Semite?” one source said yesterday.

Ms Peulich has also been criticised for employing Mr Anderton after he was caught writing a racist blog that described Aborigines as congenitally drunk and violent when he was an unsuccessful Liberal candidate at the November state poll. Neither Ms Peulich nor Ms McArthur returned calls yesterday.

Mr Aldred was a federal MP for several years before he was disendorsed in 1995 after falsely accusing Jewish lawyer Mark Leibler of involvement in a money-laundering scam run by Israel’s spy agency, Mossad.

He has previously admitted meeting delegations of LaRouche and the Citizens Electoral Council, with LaRouche leader Allen Douglas reportedly praising Mr Aldred as a “patriot acting in the best interests of his country”.

Mr Aldred has also falsely claimed former foreign affairs department head Michael Costello had accepted $1million from Israeli agents with links to South American drug barons, and provided documents to a Melbourne newspaper alleging that Mr Howard and former prime ministers Paul Keating and Bob Hawke accepted money from the Indonesian government to influence Australia’s foreign policy.

The documents were found to be false.
