Serving in the Shadow Ministry is a privilege. Shadow Ministers and Shadow Assistant Ministers are expected to uphold the standards I have set as Leader.
Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has failed to do so and will no longer serve in my Shadow Ministry.
Today, despite being given sufficient time and space to do so, Senator Nampijinpa Price failed to apologise for remarks which have caused Australians of Indian heritage significant hurt.
She also refused to provide confidence in my leadership of the Liberal Party and sadly, that has made her position untenable in my Shadow Ministry.
The Liberal Party I lead will respect, reflect and represent modern Australia.
