Aspiring Aussie politician Nicole Tobin wants to ban fat people from sugar

An aspiring politician wants to ban plus-sized Australians from purchasing products containing white sugar or refined flour.

Liberal National party candidate Nicole Tobin, who also works as a teacher, agreed with a social media post that claimed obese people ‘shouldn’t be able to purchase anything containing white sugar or refined flour’.

‘And no soft drink if your BMI is over 30 either,’ she wrote. ‘Water or one glass of red wine.’

Ms Tobin, is running for the senate in Queensland for the LNPs, from an unwinnable spot at number six on the ticket.

The aspiring politician, who also works as a teacher, says she can spot the lunchbox of an obese child because they are always filled with packaged foods such as Tiny Teddies. She only allows her children to drink soft drinks when they compete in cross country running events

Liberal National party candidate Nicole Tobin suggested that people with a BMI over 30 should be banned from soft drinks and only be allowed water or one glass of red wine in a controversial Twitter thread

The teacher also told NewsCorp that she could always spot the lunchboxes of children who were overweight, because they were filled with Tiny Teddies and muffins from Coles and Woolies.

‘And I know parents are busy. I’m not saying I never sent my children with packaged food, but the ones who consistently have packaged food are the ones that you know, they don’t always make the good choices. ‘

Ms Tobin says she only allows her children to drink soft drinks when they compete in cross-country running events.

She only drinks them herself on election day, because she ‘needs the sugar’. 

‘I do think that people’s doctors should definitely be saying to them, I’m sorry. You need to cut down on things. It’s that simple.’
