Senator David Van has resigned from the Liberal Party. Looks like he's decided to stay a senator until the next election.
“Given the Liberal Party’s wholesale disregard for due process and natural justice in relation to allegations made against me, I write to resign my membership effective immediately,” he said in the resignation letter. “I cannot remain a member of a party that tramples upon the very premise on which our justice system is predicated. This is a travesty of justice and I reiterate that I deny the allegations made against me."
“I will continue to fight for what I thought were the party’s values – just not under its banner.”
