Peta Credlin said there is 'no one better' than Senator Jacinta Price to help Peter Dutton win 'the fight of his life' as shadow minister for Indigenous Australians.
The opposition leader is expected to announce a shadow cabinet reshuffle in the coming days, after Julian Leeser resigned his shadow attorney general and shadow indigenous affairs portfolios on Tuesday.
“He needs someone who's all in – totally with him – in opposing the Voice. Not someone who's going to get lost in fine distinctions about regional voices and national ones; between legislated voices and constitutionally entrenched ones,” Credlin said. “And able to fight against the separatism that the Voice embodies; the separatism that's at the root of the disastrous dysfunction afflicting Indigenous Australia.”
