'Transvestism is very common among sexual predators, even serial killers,' she said in a historical tweet. The Warringah candidate also bizarrely linked cross-dressing males and and trans women to 'sexual predators, even serial killers'. She once declared trans teenagers are 'surgically mutilated' and felt personally 'triggered' by the rainbow Pride flag. Ms Deves has become a divisive figure following a number of provocative comments on her Twitter account - which she has since deleted.
Ms Steggall was $1.04 favourite to win the seat while Ms Deves is at $9, according to the most recent Sportsbet odds. Ms Deves faces an uphill battle to reclaim Warringah for the Liberals, with the former blue-ribbon seat currently held by independent MP Zali Steggall by more than seven per cent.
