The candidate for Adelaide is facing charges overseas.
A South Australian One Nation candidate has been dumped by the party on the eve of the election after allegations arose that he is wanted in the UK.
Aoi Baxter, who was running for the seat of Adelaide in Saturday’s South Australian election, has a warrant for his arrest in the UK after he failed to attend court over sexual assault allegations.
The 31-year-old, also known as Trent Baxter, was charged with sexually touching a woman without consent in September 2023, the ABC reports.
One Nation issued a statement on Friday saying it was aware of the allegations regarding Baxter.
“Today we have been informed Mr Baxter has a warrant in the United Kingdom for failing to appear at a court hearing. This was not disclosed to One Nation by Mr Baxter,” the statement said.
“Mr Baxter is no longer a One Nation candidate as a result of this news.
“One Nation conducted a nation-wide police check on Mr Baxter as it does with all candidates. No issues were discovered.
“One Nation will cooperate fully with law enforcement regarding this matter. We have been unable to contact Mr Baxter.”
Baxter’s profile has been removed from the One Nation website.
