Peter Cain resigns from Canberra Liberals shadow cabinet over concerns about leadership
Canberra Liberals MLA Peter Cain has resigned from the shadow cabinet, citing concerns about the party's leadership. In a statement, Mr Cain said his resignation was "effective immediately". "This decision follows ongoing concerns regarding the direction of the current leadership team and the processes through which key decisions have been made," he said. Mr Cain was first elected to the Legislative Assembly in 2020 and represents the electorate of Ginninderra. He has most recently held the shadow ministries of attorney-general, planning and environment and housing services. Soon after the 2024 ACT election, Leanne Castley was named leader of the party, replacing Elizabeth Lee, and Jeremy Hanson was elected as her deputy. In the statement, Mr Cain said the decision to resign was not one he had "taken lightly". "I believe I can best serve the Canberra community and the people of Ginninderra from the backbench." He also alluded to issues around workplace culture being among the reasons for his resignation. "I also have a duty of care to my hardworking staff, who deserve to work in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment," he said. He said he would remain on the backbench as a member of the party and "continue to work hard, speak up and advocate for policies that reflect the best of what a Liberal philosophy has to offer". "I am proud of the work I have done and the advocacy I have led across the portfolios I have held, always with a focus on delivering better outcomes for Canberrans," he said. "I remain available to engage with anyone to advance the best interests of Belconnen and the ACT." Leanne Castley and the Canberra Liberals have been approached for comment.
