Peter Dutton unveils new Coalition frontbench in wake of Julian Leeser's resignation over Voice to Parliament

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has announced a reshuffle of the Coalition's frontbench, naming senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price as the new shadow minister for Indigenous Australians.

Last week Liberal MP Julian Leeser, who held the shadow attorney-general and Indigenous Australians ministries, resigned and moved to the backbench in order to campaign against his party's platform and in support of the Voice instead, prompting the shadow cabinet moves.
