O’Brien said he refused by arguing that formulating politics was the role of the opposition.
Under the rules of the Labor Party, then you do it as you are told. When you do what the liberal deputies do, you do not see that they speak their minds – solid discussions.
Ferguson asked O’Brien that Hastie described his anonymous colleagues who condemned him as “coward and puppet, and whether the shadow count was between this unknown cohort.
“Well, no,” he replied, O’Brien, Hastie and others “before the Australians argue for the Australians” before continuing “Sussan [Ley]‘leadership’.
When Sussan gets the leadership, remember what he says, we need to listen, we need to discuss, we take our time to make politics right.
I don’t defend this in any way. In fact, I think the liberal party has a power. “
