US EditionTaylor Rejects Liberal Quotas for Women as Ley Remains Undecided
- Following the Coalition’s decisive defeat, Sussan Ley was elected as the Liberal Party’s leader, becoming the party’s inaugural woman to hold this position and now serving as opposition leader.
- Ley's leadership arises amid declining female voter support for the Liberals, contrasting with Labor's achievement of gender parity over three decades.
- Ley expressed determination to increase women in elected positions while remaining agnostic about quotas, leaving state divisions autonomous to decide their approaches.
- Tony Abbott and Angus Taylor have both expressed opposition to gender quotas, describing them as illiberal and contrary to merit-based selection, whereas Simon Birmingham advocates for urgent and ambitious quotas to address the party's decline in female representation.
- Ley's tentative support for quotas, if chosen by states, signals a shift in party approach that may influence future female representation and party renewal.
