Australian opposition politician Andrew Hastie said he resigned from the shadow cabinet due to a clash over immigration policy and it has nothing to do with challenging Sussan Ley for the leadership of the Liberal Party.

“There’s no challenge to Sussan. I support Sussan,” Hastie told reporters in Perth on Saturday.
