The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, has discussed the federal election result and inaccurate media reporting that he “supports” Malcolm Turnbull.

“Reports in some media that I support Malcom Turnbull are wrong,” Mr Wilkie said.

“What I said yesterday is that I am committed to approaching all issues on their merits and will not vote against budget supply or confidence unless doing so would be clearly warranted.

“I remain steadfast in my commitment to doing no deals with any political party. Nor have I cut any deal with Malcolm Turnbull.

“But more than ever Australia does need certainty and stability. I will not try and exploit the current political fragility by being politically destructive.”
