“The two groups should not be conflated unless you have clear evidence to the contrary,” she wrote, the federal court heard. “You must distinguish the two or you risk giving Liberal supporters of women’s spaces the perception that you do not support them. I will also finish my comment on your doc and will send back.”He said he had met Credlin when she was chief of staff to then prime minister Tony Abbott, and had reached out to her in early 2023 as he began setting up the opposition leader’s office following the 2022 election.
“I asked her to help out, give me advice on how I should set up the office and how I should run a successful opposition and she was very kind.”Under cross-examination by Deeming’s barrister, Sue Chrysanthou SC, Pintos-Lopez said he was aware the federal opposition leader, Peter Dutton, was among senior Liberals to have also expressed concern about the expulsion motion.
