The Liberal Party has expelled a number of its members working on the campaign for the Sydney seat of Lindsay, after they handed out material described as offensive and false.
The flyer purported to be from an Islamic Group and it urged people to vote for the Labor candidate David Bradbury.
The Liberal Party's New South Wales director, Graham Jaeschke, says the activity was carried out without any authorisation or knowledge of the party's head office.
He says the matter has been reported to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), and action has been taken against those involved.
"Some individuals working on our campaign were distributing an unauthorised flyer," he said.
"As soon as we found out this morning we've acted accordingly and if they were members of the party are no longer members of the party and the others who were not members of the party are now no longer working on the campaign."
