During a press conference at the Hyatt Hotel in Canberra, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley declined to respond to remarks made by Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson. Henderson had stated that the party leader was losing support within the Liberal ranks.
“The Liberal leader is losing support in the party room,” declared Senator Sarah Henderson.
When asked how she plans to unite the diverse factions within the Liberal Party, Ley responded that she would address the issue further after the upcoming meeting on net zero scheduled for next Wednesday.
The press conference concluded with coverage from ABC photographer Luke Stephenson, who captured scenes from the event. The ABC live blog ended with reflections on a politically active day, promising to return next week with more updates on federal politics.
Sussan Ley avoided commenting on internal party criticism from Sarah Henderson, promising further discussion on party unity and climate policy next week.
