One Nation Victoria has disendorsed Franco Guardiani, its candidate for Preston in the Victorian election, after social media posts attributed to him came to light, according to The Guardian's report.

The Guardian reported that Guardiani's private social media account described Adolf Hitler as the “GOAT” and included a claim that linked Islam to the legality of pedophilia. The Guardian's summary states that the party acted after those posts emerged.

According to The Guardian, Guardiani also made a social media post, since deleted, in which he commented on a post on X. The summary breaks off before describing what he wrote or which post he responded to, so the content of that comment cannot be stated from the material available.

The Guardian's summary does not give the dates on which the posts were published, does not describe any statement from the party beyond the disendorsement, and does not say whether Guardiani has responded. Those points cannot be confirmed from the summary.

The Guardian's headline frames the posts as praising Hitler, and its summary describes the account using the same description. Henry Belot is credited as the author of the report. The account in this story rests on that single outlet, and where the summary is incomplete, so is this account.
