| Description | In a scathing statement, Julia Banks has explained her “treacherous” resignation from the Liberal Party, which has left Scott Morrison’s government in turmoil.
While Mr Morrison was holding a press conference in the Prime Minister’s courtyard, Ms Banks dropped her bombshell resignation from the Liberal Party in the House of Representatives.
The federal member for Chisholm will now sit as an independent, meaning the government will need to gain support from the crossbench in order to get any legislation passed.
She will guarantee confidence and supply, so there is no risk of the government falling, but it makes Mr Morrison’s job even harder.
It also raises the possibility of Ms Banks recontesting her seat as an independent next year. She had previously indicated she would quit at the election. |
