Country Liberal Party Senator Jacinta Price says it was “honourable” for Julian Leeser to resign from the Opposition frontbench as he intends to campaign for a Yes vote for the Voice.
“I respect his position … for someone in such a position to come out and basically state what they believe in,” she told Sky News Australia.
“And I think what’s wonderful about being part of a Coalition is the fact that you can have an opinion in matters that you feel very passionate and deep about. “For him it was probably the right choice to make that decision so that perhaps somebody who’s prepared to fight that ‘No’ will step into that role.”
