Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I'm asked a question about leadership and I'm happy to answer a question about leadership. We know that, for the Leader of the Opposition, any endorsement is the kiss of death. In the pre-selection for the Queensland LNP Senate ticket, he endorsed sitting senator, Gerard Rennick. He wrote a letter of support asking people 'to support Gerard as part of my team'. Rennick is now suing the LNP and Peter Dutton, claiming the party is run in an unprofessional manner.
