    Julian Leeser says he still 'supports' Peter Dutton's leadership of Liberal Party

    Liberal MP Julian Leeser says Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has taken the "appropriate action" in removing Senator David Van from the Liberal party room.

    "I think Peter Dutton has taken the appropriate action. There have been some serious allegations that have been made about David Van," he told Sky News on Thursday night.
    "It's not an unprecedented thing to stand people aside from the party room while allegations of this sort are being investigated.

    "As Peter said in his statement, he's not prejudging the issues but he has appropriately referred these matters to the parliamentary workplace support service for their consideration."

    The former shadow attorney-general said the voice to parliament was about "completing" the Constitution.

    "I think it's important that we make the case for the voice, I think that is what is required of those of us who think that this is a good idea," he said.

    "It's about putting in place an institution that should help us close the gap."
