Liberal colleagues praise Julian Leeser’s Indigenous voice stance, claiming yes vote now more likely

Several Liberal MPs have thrown their support behind Julian Leeser’s decision to quit the shadow frontbench to campaign for the Indigenous voice, with at least one now claiming the move could help clear the way for the referendum’s success.

While the shock resignation is unlikely to alter the opposition’s plan to campaign against the voice, Leeser is the latest in a growing list of Liberals opposing the federal party room’s decision.
