Fed: Result of the Democrats leadership ballot
Senator STOTT DESPOJA says it's an honour to be elected leader of the Democrats, and
has thanked the members of the Australian Democrats for their vote of confidence.
She says it's now time for them to work together as a united party with the aim of
ensuring the Democrats remain Australia's third political force at the next federal election.
Senator STOTT DESPOYA says she'll listen and lead.
She's thanked Senator MEG LEES, the leader she's replaced, for her contribution as
the leader of the party since 1997, saying Senator LEES remains an integral part of the
Democrats team.
A spokeswoman for Senator STOTT DESPOJA said it was a decisive victory.
