Sussan Ley Vows Her Leadership Will Survive Political ‘Killing Season’
Sussan Ley faces leadership risk as hard-right Liberals push to abandon net zero targets despite public support for bipartisan climate action, with Nationals securing only 3.8% vote.
- On November 4, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley faced fevered speculation about her future amid Liberal Party hard-right members pressuring her to reject net zero, but she said she is `completely confident` she will remain leader.
- The Nationals unanimously voted to walk away from net zero, intensifying pressure inside the Coalition while the Liberal Party review process on net zero grows emotionally dysregulated.
- A photograph shows Tony Bennett, David Littleproud, Melissa McIntosh and Dan Tehan with Sussan Ley in federal parliament this week, while Ley disciplined Jacinta Nampijinpa Price after inflammatory remarks.
- Observers note Ley has been placed in an untenable position as Liberal Party leadership contenders circle, with commentary saying rejecting net zero risks losing the election or voter views of weakness.
- Public polling and commentary show large swathes of the Australian electorate want bipartisan climate action, but the Liberals' past National Energy Guarantee failures and Labor party's 2025 win complicate repositioning.
