Politician on break due to fake powder incident.

South Australian MP David Speirs has announced that he will be taking a leave of absence for medical reasons. This decision came after a video surfaced of him allegedly snorting white powder. In a statement released today, Speirs explained that the past few days have been difficult and he needs to prioritize his health and well-being.
Speirs, who was previously the Liberal leader, stated that he has been feeling exceptionally vulnerable and at risk. He emphasized the importance of taking care of one's own health and said that he will be seeking help from medical professionals during his absence. The video in question was published by News Corp yesterday, along with a photo of Speirs.
The footage, which was reportedly taken at 4 am on June 30 in Speirs' home, appears to show him snorting white powder. However, Speirs' replacement as Liberal leader, Vincent Tarzia, has come to his defense, claiming that the video is a manipulated deepfake. Tarzia stated that Speirs believes the video is not authentic and is the result of a digital hoax.
The government has questioned why Speirs did not report the video to the police if he truly believed it was a deepfake. This has caused some opposition from Labor MP Tom Koutsantonis, who questioned why the opposition has not taken the matter to the authorities. Meanwhile, Speirs' statement has reassured the public that he is under the care of medical professionals and is taking the necessary steps to prioritize his well-being.
