Ipswich City Council has pulled funding from a World Harmony Day event organised by former One Nation candidate Shan Ju Lin, who was dumped by the party over anti-gay comments.

Ms Lin's bid to represent One Nation in the seat of Bundamba came to an end over the weekend after she claimed on Facebook that "gays should be treated as patients" and "abnormal sex behaviour leads to abnormal crime".

Previously, the Taiwan-born candidate raised eyebrows by claiming "good Asians" would back the One Nation Party, and by posting conspiracy theory articles on her Facebook page.

Ms Lin, who also wants Muslim immigration in Australia to stop, is the president of a group named the World Harmony Society which is organising Ipswich's World Harmony Day community event on March 11.

The group claims one of its values is to "promote universal harmony through multiculturalism" regardless of race, faith or colour.

Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale said councillors had decided not to provide $5,000 of funding to the World Harmony Society, and called on Ms Lin to resign from the group.

"She's is trying to use the harmony event to lift her profile," Cr Pisasale said.

"She's made stupid statements, but the one on the weekend about gays was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"We're not going to tolerate that sort of behaviour that reflects on this city."

Cr Pisasale said the World Harmony Day event had run smoothly in the past, but its credibility was now tarnished after her controversial comments.

He also claimed members of the World Harmony Society's organising committee had emailed him to say they had nothing to do with the group.

"I had an email from a lady who said she was supposed to be the vice-chair of this committee," Cr Pisasale said.

"She's never been to a meeting, she's never been consulted.

"So I've told her to go to the right authorities."

'Withdrawal of funding politically motivated'

Ms Lin rejected claims the festival was being used as a political tool, and said her remarks about homosexuals "should hardly be thought of as controversial".

"This withdrawal of funding is itself politically motivated and can only harm attendees and the business community that go to great effort to sponsor and support the festival," she said.

Ms Lin said she had no plans to step down from the committee.

"I have only ever got ringing endorsements from the public, attendees, multicultural groups and business vendors," she said.

"I have been doing selfless works for the multicultural society for years now, and won't be dissuaded by undue political influence."

Meanwhile, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson criticised the media's coverage of Ms Lin's dumping from the party.

"I cannot understand it. As if the media don't have any more important issues than Shan Ju Lin," she said.

"This is all the lefty media, ready to have a go at me all the time and I've had a gutful.

"I'm sick and tired of it."
