Australia we're full with fradulent politicians

We know the one on the right is a dodgy as all f..k.

So who's the new (dodgy) face?

As documented by news.com.au on 11 May 2019 with the headline:

Labor candidate’s links to company that sold pseudoscientific and potentially dangerous health products

EXCLUSIVE

One of Labor’s federal election candidates previously founded and helped run a company which sold pseudoscientific health products, including “vagina tightening cream”, “breast enlargement cream” and capsules which promised to cure the symptoms of diabetes while allowing customers to say “farewell to insulin”.

Aruna Chandrala, who is a candidate for the Senate in NSW, was listed among the managers of a business called Ayushman Herbals. On her personal website, she said she was “involved in the running” of the company.

This isn’t her first involvement in politics.

Labor also endorsed Ms Chandrala as a candidate for the NSW upper house at the state election earlier this year, and photos show she has met several prominent members of the party, including Bill Shorten, Julia Gillard, Kevin Rudd, Paul Keating, Bob Hawke, Chris Bowen, Tanya Plibersek and Kristina Keneally.

Ayushman Herbals was based in Hyderabad, India, but its LinkedIn profile shows it also had offices in the United States and Illawong, a suburb in the south of Sydney.

According to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in India, it was incorporated in July of 2012.

Its product range included Ayurvedic medicine, a form of alternative medicine which is extremely popular in India, but has been described elsewhere as pseudoscience.

Among the products offered by Ayushman Herbals was Diafree, which promised to “get rid of all signs and symptoms associated with diabetes”.

“Farewell to insulin and tablets. Let’s treat your diabetes in a natural way,” the company’s website told customers.

Diabetes is a condition in which the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels. It’s typically treated with artificial insulin injections.

A failure to properly treat diabetes can cause serious complications. For one, it greatly increases the chance of someone suffering a heart attack or stroke.

Ayushman Herbals told its customers Diafree, whose formula consisted of a “unique combination of herbs”, would stimulate beta cell production and help the pancreas perform its function normally.

“You can decrease the dosage of artificial insulin by regularly taking Diafree along with diet and exercise,” it claimed.

Put another way, it strongly implied diabetics would no longer need insulin — or at the very least, not as much — a claim with potentially dangerous consequences.

Another product on offer was Slim-O, which supposedly did exactly what you would expect from the name — help people lose weight.

Customers were told the capsules would empower them to “regain the original body shape”, reduce their fat levels and detoxify their digestive system.

“Ayushman slimming capsules are made with fat burning herbs like Garcinia,” the website boasted.
Other products sold by Ayushman Herbals require less explanation.

It flogged “Vagina Tightening and Anti-Fungal cream”, which promised to “bring stiffness back and give original shape back”. With no side effects!

The company’s “Breast Enlargement cream” preyed on women’s concerns about “ill-shaped or sagging” breasts

“Height Plus” pills claimed to stimulate human growth hormone and make people taller, though it warned “definitely results vary”.

And so on. There were pills for increasing sexual stamina, improving memory, fighting addiction, maintaining healthy lungs and “helping in menstrual related problems”.

Labor has focused heavily on health during this election campaign, telling voters it is the only major party that can be trusted to provide better health care.

The revelation that one of its candidates was involved with a company which sold pseudoscientific health products, including some that were potentially dangerous for consumers, undermines that argument.

“I’ve ceased all involvement with that company and condemn any behaviour which seeks to mislead people about medicine,” Ms Chandrala told news.com.au on Friday night.

Her personal Facebook page included a number of photos with senior Labor figures. Earlier this week she attended a gala dinner for Labor candidates, where she was pictured with Mr Shorten, Ms Plibersek and Ms Keneally.

Other images showed her with Mr Shorten as far back as 2014, and with former prime ministers Julia Gillard, Kevin Rudd, Paul Keating and Bob Hawke.

After news.com.au contacted Labor for comment late yesterday afternoon, Ms Chandrala’s Facebook profile was taken down, along with all those photos, as was her profile on her personal website.

Ayushman Herbals’ website was already defunct.
