The Australian High Commissioner to India, Bruce Grant, drew Minister Peacock's critique for seeking leave to return to Australia to campaign in the December 13 election. Peacock noted department advice against leave but allowed the return, saying Grant could seek nomination though his aim appeared to be broader party involvement. Grant had been in Australia for consultations in September and returned to New Delhi, with officials warning of potential overseas representation consequences if the government shifts.
