Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has thrown her support behind Andrew Hastie for the future Liberal leadership and criticised his factional rivals who have been speaking to the media on background.

“I think because they are not focused on the fact that we have very little in the way of policy to present and we need to get on with that sort of work,” Price told 2GB radio.
