Although Ms Klein has been disendorsed by the Liberals, her name will appear on ballots as the party's candidate because – with pre-polling having started – it is too late for the Victorian Electoral Commission to remove her from voting forms. People can still vote for Ms Klein but the Liberal Party cannot put forward a replacement candidate as nominations have closed.

In the video, posted to YouTube on Wednesday, Ms Klein is interviewed by Avi Yemini, the lead Upper House candidate for the Australian Liberty Alliance in the southern metro region. She is interviewed by the controversial hard-right campaigner despite his party running a candidate against her in Yan Yean.

The seat will be decided by a handful of votes, and Mr Yemini told 3AW host Neil Mitchell on Thursday that his party was running a candidate in the seat – it's only lower house candidate – purely to help Ms Klein get elected. Ms Klein said on Thursday she had never endorsed the Australian Liberty Alliance video. In the video, Ms Klein describes running a restaurant in Greensborough several years ago. She alleged two teenagers from a nearby shop assaulted her and called her names "much along the lines that I was a dirty white whore". While she does not refer to their religion, she says: "They were not happy with two blonde women running a restaurant. They were of a culture that didn't accept white Australian women." Later, she says that immigration levels in Australia need to be reviewed.

Ms Klein said she made the video about her attack with the Australian Liberty Alliance after she was told it would be about violence against women. "They made it into something it is not. I am a strong advocate for ... multiculturalism," she told ABC Radio's Jon Faine. "Nowhere in anything I said was I anti-Muslim. I am not anti-Muslim." The video ends with the hashtag #MUSLIMBAN.

While she attempted to distance herself from the Australian Liberty Alliance, Mr Yemini said Ms Klein had "cuddled up to us for the last few months". He said Ms Klein had even discussed leaving the Liberal Party if she was elected and joining the Australian Liberty Alliance. "She had a plan of attack on how to get in and either stay in [parliament] as an ally for us ... or she was going to defect and come over to us," he told 3AW. However in her how-to-vote card registered with the Victorian Electoral Commission Ms Klein placed the alliance's candidate Siobhann Brown last. Ms Klein did not respond to attempts to reach her on Thursday. Mr Guy was in Southbank on Thursday morning, promising a special unit in Victoria's Justice Department that would help the federal government deport foreign-born criminals.
