Mr Tehan issued a statement on Friday evening, just hours after West Australian MP Luke Simpkins called for motion to spill all leadership positions at next Tuesday’s party room meeting in Canberra.
The Hamilton based MP’s statement echoed comments he made to The Standard on Thursday, again saying the Prime Minister has his support.
“I’ll be voting against the spill motion on Tuesday,” The statement said.
“I have been out and about in the electorate all week and the feedback I have received is that people want a government that is united.
“We have to stop focusing on ourselves, work as a team and get on with governing. My number one priority is working and delivering for the people and communities of Wannon.”
