Hume Backs Ley Amid Leadership Fitness Question
Sussan Ley has remained reserved amid criticism of her leadership, emphasizing that the Liberal Party stays “united” despite claims from a backbencher suggesting the Coalition leader is losing support within the party room.
Ley Responds to Leadership Doubts
Breaking her silence on doubts about her ability to lead the Coalition, Ley declined to address rumors of weakened backing as one colleague expressed concern over her standing. The Liberals face a critical week ahead, aiming to settle disputes over a controversial emissions target and establish an energy policy platform.
Internal Party Tensions
Months of infighting have unsettled Ms. Ley’s leadership. This tension was highlighted by Liberal senator Sarah Henderson’s remarks on Friday morning, where she stopped short of fully endorsing Ley's leadership.
“I am just going to say at the moment that I cannot support the way things are.” — Sarah Henderson, Liberal senator
Ley’s Statement on Party Unity
When pressed on Ms. Henderson’s position, Ms. Ley answered reporters in Canberra, refusing to engage with the speculation and urging direct questions be addressed to Ms. Henderson.
“I value every single member of my team, including (Senator Henderson). In order to interrogate her views, you should probably ask her, I’m not commenting on commentary.” — Sussan Ley
She reaffirmed the party’s solidarity, stating the Liberal Party remains “united through its values.”
Summary: Sussan Ley maintains a stance of unity within the Liberal Party despite internal criticism, focusing on party values while facing ongoing leadership challenges.
