South Australian Labor MP Tom Koutsantonis has laughed off media speculation that has made reference to him being the future leader of the Labor party in South Australia.
“We have a leader, his name is Jay Weatherill and I support him completely and unconditionally,” Mr Koutsantonis tells Neos Kosmos.
An article published this week in The Australian, made reference to Mr Koutsantonis to be the likely Labor leader, along with Jack Snelling, should Labor lose the upcoming election.
However, Mr Koutsantonis denied any claims that he is vying for the top job, but added that it’s “flattering” that journalists would suggest he would be the future leader but was adamant that “it’s not the case”.
When asked if he had any aspirations of being the Labor leader in South Australia he says the only aspirations he has is “to serve community” and none of becoming the leader of the party.
