ACT candidate resigns

[harm_less]

Parties need to do better background checks on their candidates. All parties. Heavens, they are employees. Reference check them till their pips squeak and there'll be fewer surprises.

Seymour has said today that it is impossible to check all candidates' social media.    That's nonsense, half an hour would be more than enough per person.  I think he's pitching his excuses to his older followers who don't really understand social media.

Any intelligent employer searches a potential employee's social media history as part of their job application process. For Seymour to say they don't do this is either ignorant or dishonest on his part.
