Coalition looking for new leader after huge election loss

  • Following a significant election loss over the weekend, the Liberal Party must find a new leader after Peter Dutton was unseated in Canberra.
  • The defeat stemmed from the absence of a coherent policy and economic message during a severe cost of living crisis, leaving the party with just under 40 seats to defend.
  • Andrew Hastie, shadow defence minister and one of several contenders including Angus Taylor, has vowed to drive change in the party while refusing to rule himself in or out.
  • Hastie said, "The soul searching is already underway" and noted he had a 3.7 per cent swing in his seat of Canning, defying the national trend.
  • The party faces a tough repair job that could take years, with leaders and analysts warning a new direction and strong opposition are needed to regain voter trust.
