The shadow minister for Indigenous Australians has resigned from the Liberal frontbench, following the party’s decision to oppose the Voice to Parliament. 

Julian Leeser, who was also the shadow attorney-general, revealed he quit the shadow cabinet to campaign for a ‘yes’ vote to the Voice.

“Over the past year I have had many respectful discussions with my parliamentary colleagues about the Voice,” the MP said in a statement.

“I have listened to their views and they have heard mine, but ultimately I have not been able to persuade them.”
