Gary Johns accused of ‘complete disrespect’ towards colleagues in Indigenous voice no campaign

Liberal MP Matt Kean says Warren Mundine and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price ‘will have to clean up this mess’ after spokesman’s CPAC conference comments

No campaign spokesman Gary Johns is treating colleagues Warren Mundine and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price with “complete disrespect” and “cowardice”, the Liberal MP Matt Kean claims, following controversial comments about Indigenous communities at the CPAC conservative conference.

The health minister, Mark Butler, also criticised a comedian’s joke about Closing the Gap and suicide prevention at the conference, which is led by no campaign leader Mundine, saying such gags “cannot be tolerated”. Recent Closing the Gap data showed Indigenous suicide rates on the rise.
