Sounds like an interesting candidate for them (if his stories are to be believed).
As a general rule, you shouldn't trust what a One Nation candidate says about anything.
It's unclear if any of the biographies cited in the article would have been verified before being posted by those organisations. He did give a lecture on ransom at the Australian Army Research Centre, which would seem to be an indicator they judged him as credible in that area.
It's an unusual feeling to see a One Nation member who appears to be competent. Almost certainly a bad sign.
