Peter Slipper Statement re Mr Wilkie withdrawal of support

In response to the question as to whether Mr Slipper’s accepting the role as Independent

Speaker has changed in light of Mr Wilkie’s recent withdrawal of support of Government:

“As I understand it, Mr Wilkie has stated he ‘would only support motions of no confidence in cases of serious misconduct, not those that were politically opportunistic.’ Therefore my role as Independent Speaker has not materially changed as a result of Mr Wilkie’s recent decision.

“I remain committed to being the best Independent Speaker in the Westminster tradition in the Australian Parliament.”
