Greens would be 'mad' to dump James Shaw as co-leader, ACT's David Seymour says

  • 28/07/2022

ACT Leader David Seymour has come to the defence of James Shaw saying the Greens would be "mad" to dump him as co-leader. 

It comes as Shaw faces a potential leadership challenge after more than 25 percent of party delegates at an annual meeting on Saturday voted to reopen nominations for the co-leadership role.

But Shaw received the endorsement of Seymour to continue as co-leader. 

"They would be mad to dump James Shaw, I know a lot of people who will find this hard to believe, but he's the sanest amongst them by far," he told AM Early host Bernadine Oliver-Kerby.

"It's just such a shame that the Green Party's immune system has been rejecting James Shaw."
