Tony Abbott and Matt Kean are from opposite factions in NSW, but they agree that Peter Dutton must return Julian Leeser to the frontbench.
Former prime minister Tony Abbott and leading NSW Liberal moderate Matt Kean are calling for Julian Leeser to be returned to the Liberal Party’s shadow cabinet, arguing that the former shadow attorney-general should not be punished for his principled decision to resign from his post to campaign for a Voice to parliament.
“Julian has proven himself to be not only principled, but a respectful team player. He put his principles ahead of his own promotion . This election will be won and lost in NSW and we certainly need to show that we have got smart and principled people,” he said. “Those decisions are his alone to make. When I look at our backbench and the wider outer ministry it’s easy to see a lot of talent, it’s basically impossible for Peter to make a bad decision.”
