## Summary

Matthew Collins has resigned as One Nation’s candidate for the Melbourne electorate ahead of Victoria’s state election, after offensive posts about sexual consent resurfaced. He apologised, saying the comments were unacceptable and did not reflect who he is now.

Posts reportedly made on a since-deleted X account included calling requests for consent “cringe” and saying he had never asked a woman for consent. One Nation Victoria said it did not condone the remarks and accepted his resignation. Opposition Leader Jess Wilson called the comments “absolutely disgusting”; One Nation has been polling third behind the Coalition and Labor.
