Liberal Senator Jane Hume, who was left out of the new frontbench despite previously serving as Shadow Finance Minister, has pledged her support for party leader Sussan Ley—even as she admitted the decision left her “hurt personally and professionally.”

“If you’re asking me whether I feel hurt or slighted by this move from Sussan, of course it hurts,” Hume told Sunrise.
