MP Bridget Archer said she had ‘much respect’ for the former shadow Indigenous Australians minister’s ‘courage and integrity’
When asked at his press conference whether criticisms in question time had affected him, Leeser replied: “absolutely not”.
Liberal senator Andrew Bragg, another voice supporter, said in a statement that “the referendum is too important to play politics and it is not good enough to oppose on process grounds” – referencing a major criticism of Dutton’s. “I want the referendum to be successful and believe a yes vote is now more likely because of Julian’s conviction,” he said.
