Andrea Tokaji is a youth pastor and was a liberal candidate for the seat of Baldivis to the south east of Perth.[1]

Tokaji was removed as a candidate from the 2021 Western Australian state election campaign following her including conspiracy theory ideas linking the 5G network and COVID-19 on her Facebook page which she had taken from a conservative Christian website. Additionally she has made claims endorsing the viewpoint of Pete Evans who claims that COVID-19 was developed in a Chinese laboratory.[2] She also has made claims that radiation destroys human immunity to airborne viruses.[3]

The leader of the Liberal Party in Western Australia, Zac Kirkup, withdrew Tokaji as a candidate as a result of her promoting "dangerous conspiracy theories".[2][3]
