Federal Opposition Leader, Peter Dutton, has responded to Julian Leeser’s decision to resign and has discussed Australia’s current power situation.

“He has a lot of passion for wanting to find a better future for Indigenous Australians…I have the utmost respect for him,” Mr Dutton told Michael McLaren.

“His view is at odds with the vast majority of our Liberal Party room.”

Dutton added that he has seen a lot of countries turn to nuclear power, and that’s something Australia will work towards.

“I want to see power prices come down and I want to see a stable electricity network,” he said.
