Tobacco tycoon Travers ‘The Candyman’ Beynon has hit back at a female MP who slammed him for posting an advert looking for a new girlfriend. 

Mr Beynon had posted that he was on the hunt for a ‘bubbly’ and ‘adventurous’ new girlfriend to move into his Gold Coast Candyshop Mansion.

Gold Coast MP Meghan Scanlon slammed the ad, telling the Courier-Mail: ‘It’s outrageous to say that in the 21st century, women should be purchased and treated as property.’

‘I am surprised to still see this sort of attitude from men in this day and age – I thought we’d moved forward more than clearly we have.’

Mr Beynon was quick to fire back at Ms Scanlon, accusing her of being a misandrist with a ‘deficiency in lovers’. 

The tycoon said Ms Scanlon ‘knows nothing’ about him as a person and invited her to one of his mansion parties so she could see the ‘freedom’ it provides women.  

Another piece of ‘advice’ Mr Beynon had for the MP was to visit a male strip club to see how ‘men are treated as objects’.

Ms Scanlon refused to be drawn into an argument with the tobacco tycoon. 

She told the publication she would not give ‘this man any more oxygen’.  

The Queensland businessman opened up applications for the new woman to join his harem of beautiful mistresses who are often seen by his side bikini-clad.

In an advertisement posted on his website the 48-year-old says he is seeking a ‘100 per cent confidential’ relationship with a woman who is ‘totally loyal’ and willing to live in his palatial Helensvale property full time.

‘Not only must you be attractive to be considered as a girlfriend, but you must be fun, bubbly, out-going, spontaneous, adventurous and respectful to everyone,’ the ad states.

‘Travers promotes a strong family unity in the house. (Drama is not welcome at anytime).’

He is also offering his next girlfriend a life of luxury, promising to spoil them with designer clothing and accessories, fine dining, private parties, and ‘5-star travel around the world.’ 

The Gold Coast playboy also requires contenders to maintain an appropriate presentation at all times, which includes keeping their nails manicured, hair well-kept and styled, make up done ‘to a high standard’ and even maintaining a tan.

They must also eat well and stay in shape and will be provided an allowance of $100 to $500 a week.

Only two ‘deal breakers’ are listed on the advertisement: Being in a current relationship and getting into any relationship other than one with Mr Beynon while living at the mansion. 

Mr Beynon has up to 30 women at his home on a weekend, but only two girlfriends live and sleep with him and his wife full time.

Those women are asked not to date anyone else and can bring their families to the mansion to visit.

Despite their unusual living arrangement, Mr Beynon has previously told Daily Mail Australia he enjoys a strong and loving relationship with his wife.

The notorious playboy said his unusual marriage works because Taesha loves their extraordinary sex lives.

‘We’re very happy,’ he said in 2018. I’ve been married to my wife for eight years and our relationship – in a fun sense, in a family sense, and in a sexual sense – is like we first met.’ 

‘At the weekends up to 30 other women join us and my wife loves that part of it. She absolutely gets involved with the other girls.’
