The Leader of the Opposition in the ACT has expressed her regret for making an impolite gesture towards a journalist, which was captured on camera. Elizabeth Lee, who leads the Liberal party in the territory, was in the midst of a heated interview with local reporter Ian Bushnell in Canberra yesterday when she made the gesture.
The tension between the two escalated as Bushnell pressed Lee about her party's policy costings, just two days before the ACT election. Lee repeatedly asked if he was finished with his questions, but when he insisted she give a direct answer, she replied with firmness. She asserted that she would answer the question in her own way and that Bushnell did not have the authority to dictate how she should respond.
As the interview came to an end and the news cameras were still rolling, a visibly frustrated Lee raised her middle finger towards Bushnell before exiting the room. However, she later appeared before the media to apologize for her actions. Lee is currently striving to bring an end to the 23-year political drought for the ACT Liberals when the territory voters head to the polls on Saturday.
