Broadbent resigns from the Liberal Party

ON Tuesday November 14 I resigned from the Liberal Party and joined the crossbench as an Independent where I’ll continue to represent the people of Monash until the next election. 

As I have stated in the media over the past few days, I remain a Liberal at heart and my values have not changed. 

I want to reassure my constituents that moving to the crossbench in no way affects my commitment and capacity to represent them. I have strong and genuine relationships with Members of Parliament and Ministers across all sides of politics and I will be well-placed to continue speaking up on issues that are important to my constituents and our region. That hasn’t changed - it is business as usual in my office.

It has been an honour to stand in the parliament as the Liberal member for Monash and I sincerely thank those who elected me to represent them. 
 

Russell Broadbent MP, Federal Member for Monash
