Live: Vic Liberals apologise after dumping candidate over anti-Aboriginal comments

The Victorian Liberal Party has dumped Williamstown candidate Paul Lindemann over offensive comments it says he made about Indigenous Australians.

In a statement, the party says it has withdrawn its support and endorsement of Lindemann over views he expressed, which had recently come to light.

"These comments are offensive, unacceptable and inconsistent with the values and standards expected of Liberal candidates," the statement says.

"All candidates are expected to treat Australians with dignity and respect. Mr Lindemann's comments fell short of that standard."

The party was not previously aware of Lindemann's comments, the statement says.

In a statement, Lindemann apologised for his actions and acknowledged he should have "handled the situation differently".

The ABC has attempted to contact Lindemann for comment.
