Former LNP candidate in court after federal election probe.

Vivian Rakesh Lobo, a former Liberal National Party candidate in the 2020 federal election, recently appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court, facing allegations of knowingly providing false information regarding his residential address to the Australian Electoral Commission. Four charges have been brought against Lobo, with a maximum penalty of 12 months in prison if found guilty. The case arose from a federal police investigation that was triggered by a referral from the Australian Electoral Commission, which had concerns about the authenticity of Lobo’s address details on his enrollment and candidate nomination forms.
