A bikini model turned Liberal staffer and PhD student has revealed she is researching Islam's Sharia law for conservative Queensland MP George Christensen.

Tamara Candy, who was targeted by vile online trolls and labelled 'a taxpayer-funded call girl', believes it is a possibility Sharia law could eventually make it to Australian shores.

'I have been researching all facets of Sharia law and how it has the ability to function as a plural legal system to our own,' the 27-year-old told The Daily Telegraph.

'We could see legal recognition of it in the courts one day - things like dowries and Sharia divorces.

'The thing that's worrying me is the issue of genital mutilation. Eighty thousand women in Australia are survivors.'

Female genital mutilation, which Ms Candy labelled as 'child abuse', has long been associated with Islamic fundamentalists because of the religion's stance on women's chastity.

But in 2007, the highest religious authority in Egypt - where genital mutilation was common - said the practice had 'no basis in core Islamic law or any of its partial provisions and that it is harmful and should not be practised'.

The 27-year-old said she was concerned about Sharia law coming to Australia and was against it

Ms Candy, who is dating 18-year-old model Jordi Silvera, added the burqa would not 'really be my style' but she did not hold it against women who chose to don the religious headdress.

On her Facebook page, the 27-year-old reiterated her opinion of Sharia law, saying: 'I am AGAINST Sharia Law here in Australia - or anywhere else for that matter.'

The MP she works for is Mr Christensen who has held the federal seat of Dawson, in north Queensland, since 2010.

He has attracted controversy for delivering a speech at an anti-Muslim rally and for likening content on an LGBTIQ website to 'the grooming work that a sexual predator might undertake'.

Last month, the 27-year-old made headlines when she called out complete strangers who falsely accused her of having plastic surgery and 'sleeping her way to the top' in bizarre, sexist attacks.

Ms Candy, who is a PhD student and a part-time bikini model, said Sharia law could be integrated into Australian law. The 27-year-old 'righty' doesn't believe she has to fit the Liberal woman stereotype

'I wouldn't mind being a political commentator or an academic. Being in the spotlight as a politician has never been my goal, I'm more interested in doing my job well as a staffer,' Ms Candy told Daily Mail Australia.

'Since joining the party and becoming a member I've started to get so much attention online because I have a private life at the same time as doing my job.'

WHO IS GEORGE CHRISTENSEN? George Christensen, 37, is a Queensland MP who holds the federal seat of Dawson, which covers an area of the north coast. He is a member of The Nationals Party and was elected to parliament in 2010. Mr Christensen's interest in politics started early at the age of 15 when he joined the Young Nationals. He became a figure of controversy after it emerged in 2010 he published slurs against Jews, gays and women in a conservative university newsletter when he was its editor. The MP drew criticism in 2014 when he labelled a social media campaign featuring the hashtag 'I'll ride with you' that supported Muslim Australians as 'a typical pathetic left wing black arm band brigade campaign, casting Aussies as racists who will endanger Muslims'. Mr Christensen also addressed a crowd at a 2015 rally organised by anti-Muslim group Reclaim Australia where he said: 'We would be foolishly naive to think that we are not at war with radical Islam.' Most recently, he likened content on a LGBTIQ website to 'the grooming work that a sexual predator might undertake'. *Sources: ABC/Fairfax Media Advertisement

She said it was bizarre how strangers made untrue accusations about her personal life - even falsely accusing her of having breast augmentations.

'I've received a vast array of nasty comments and many are so incorrect,' Ms Candy said.

'One of the comments was that I've had surgery but I've never had any kind of cosmetic surgery in my life.

'It said "people who have breast augmentations seem so vapid to me" and I thought "good for you, I have no problem with them, but I haven't had any myself".

'I shouldn't have to tell anyone anything about myself. I've had people – strangers - messaging me to tell me about my own private life which is interesting, I didn't know they were there.

'People have said that I've 'slept my way to the top' which is ridiculous, I don't know what the top is anyway in this case! Our salaries are online, it's not difficult to find.'

The journalist and part-time model strongly believes she does not need to conform to the 'pearl wearing' stereotype of women in politics to be a success, and 'will always march to the beat of her own drum'.

'I'm glad it's brought light to some of the nasty commentary from the left I've been receiving lately,' Ms Candy said.

'It's been going on a long time – my whole career. It's amazing this kind of commentary comes about when women have opinions and express their views.

'If I was just an Instagram model or took selfies or something like that, people wouldn't threaten me or call me such awful things.

'Because I have an opinion about society they believe they can insult me. It's almost cannibalistic the way women from the Left attack one of their own [another woman].'

She said she was uncomfortable with the unwanted attention but tried not to let the online insults hurt her.

But her parents were troubled by the cyber bullying she was experiencing.

'We're all human even if we may have thick skin. It does upset you when you see how it upsets your parents. They say they don't like seeing that sort of thing,' Ms Candy said.

Ms Candy said she was working for Mr Christensen, and was 'researching, writing policy motions and speeches'.

'I've taught politics at university and may go on to do that. It would be a shame to leave the parliamentary triangle, I love the excitement of parliament and being involved due to an interest in people and policy,' she said.

Ms Candy is working with the party on a casual basis while completing her doctorate in Politics and says she spends a much of her time volunteering with the party.

Ms Candy said the vitriol came predominantly from total strangers and fake accounts which only follow a couple of accounts - 'specific hate groups targeting LNP members'.

The 27-year-old studied journalism and had a political reporting background before completing her honours and winning a scholarship to complete a PhD examining political journalism.

Ms Candy said she came from humble beginnings and worked hard for everything she had.

'People have said to me that I've been handed everything in life. Anything I've worked for I've achieved. I've never accepted social benefits and my parents had very humble beginnings,' she said.

'My father grew up in housing commission and is a disabled pensioner. I'm the first in my family to go to university.'

She said she began working as a Liberal staffer due to her passion for helping the community.

'I am interested in helping people and being involved in the community,' Ms Candy said.

'I believe people who are attracted to journalism want to communicate with people.

'My involvement in politics is about keeping the bastards honest. I'm a true libertarian, not a party hack.'

Ms Candy says her critics made accusations that Neil Symes pays her to spend time with him – but she insists they are 'just friends'

She has recently been on the campaign trail in America

Ms Candy is focused on being an absolute professional and dedicating herself to the cause, so is frustrated by the focus now being put on her fashion choices in her private life.

'What I do in my private life is most certainly private. I shouldn't have to explain that. People online and in the last 24 hours in the media have focused on the way I dress in my private life,' she said.

'I have a wardrobe for work with pencil skirts and blazers and many photos of myself in that attire, but none of that is chosen to represent me, which muddies the message a little.'

'I'm a true libertarian. We can't all be private school-educated Liberals.'

The young woman, who calls her self a 'righty', has shared 'selfies' on Instagram featuring ex-Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Liberal MP Campbell Newman and 'shock-jock' Alan Jones - alongside revealing bikini shots.

Ms Candy said her critics made accusations former Queensland MP Neil Symes paid her to spend time with him – but she insists they are 'just friends'.

At 23-years-old Mr Symes became the youngest Member of Parliament in 2013 and was working at Woolworths and living with his parents before he was awarded the position.

His term ended in the 2015 Queensland state election after he was defeated by Joan Pease.

Ms Candy has many revealing photographs on social media, including pictures of herself in revealing outfits at political functions.

She said she was speaking with disgraced MP Craig Thompson at an event one night when she was allegedly accused of 'wearing hooker boots' and once again, being a 'call girl' by a female Labor staffer.

She proudly admits she 'marches to the beat of her own drum'

She is currently working on her PHD

'It's really sexist stuff. These are people who are supposed to be pro-women from the left,' she said.

Ms Candy is currently studying for her PHD at the University of Canberra.

She had recently been working on Rand Paul's campaign trail in the United States, posting photos of her travels on Facebook.

'I would like to thank Senator Paul for fighting the good fight. It was an honour to campaign for him and to make some new friends from his incredible team,' she posted as her work with the Republican's party finished.
