Andy Semple took to Twitter to announce his withdrawal from Pauline Hanson's party. (AAP)  One Nation's bid to win the 2018 Queensland election has taken a hit after Gold Coast candidate Andy Semple withdrew from Pauline Hanson's party.  Less than two days after being unveiled as one of the 36 candidates Ms Hanson hopes can guide One Nation to victory, Mr Semple withdrew from the party as the candidate for the seat of Currumbin.  Mr Semple, a financial business adviser and first-time political candidate, took to Twitter last night to announce his withdrawal.  "It seems #PHON (Pauline Hanson's One Nation) only likes certain types of Freedom of Expression," Mr Semple tweeted.  It's reported Mr Semple had been asked to delete a tweet from his personal account by One Nation hierarchy and refused.  Mr Semple's Twitter feed includes comments about burqas being banned, describing vegans as "miserable people" and that women with unshaven armpits are "not cool at all".  The Liberal party currently holds the seat of Currumbin, with former Newman government minister Jann Stuckey having been the member since 2004.  Ms Stuckey held the seat in the 2015 election despite a 15 per cent swing against her.  Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce dismissed Ms Hanson's claims her party is gunning to win the Queensland election, saying One Nation’s success at this year’s federal poll had similarities to Clive Palmer’s short-lived political rise.  "I must say I've seen this movie before," Mr Joyce said.  "Last time it was called Clive Palmer, and this time it's called One Nation."  Mr Semple’s withdrawal comes only a day after rogue One Nation senator Rod Culleton defected from the party, saying Ms Hanson’s behaviour was un-Australian.
