In April 2023, Julian Leeser hit major headlines after he resigned from shadow cabinet over Liberals’ voice stance

The Liberal MP has resigned as shadow attorney general and shadow minister for Indigenous Australians, less than a week after the Liberals confirmed they will oppose an Indigenous voice in the constitution.

Leeser, who is a supporter of an Indigenous voice, announced in a statement on Facebook on Tuesday morning he had resigned so as to campaign for a yes vote in the referendum.

His move has been welcomed by fellow Liberals who support the voice, including MP Bridget Archer and Senator Andrew Bragg.

However, it’s unclear if Leeser’s resignation will trigger further resignations from the shadow cabinet despite several moderates expressing concern about the party’s position in that forum.
