Hume Supports Ley Amid Leadership Doubts
Sussan Ley has remained silent on criticism regarding her leadership, asserting that the Liberal Party remains united despite claims from a backbencher that she is losing the confidence of the party room.
Recent reports indicate Ley broke her silence amid questions about her fitness to lead the Coalition, as internal party tensions continue. The Liberals are expected to address a divisive emissions target and finalize their energy policy platform in the coming week.
This follows several months of internal strife that have undermined Ms. Ley's position, including outspoken remarks from Liberal senator Sarah Henderson. When asked if she supported Ms. Ley as opposition leader, Henderson hesitated and said to Sky News,
“I am just going to say at the moment that I cannot support the way things are.”
Ms. Ley responded to speculation by refusing to engage directly with such commentary.
“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.”
She emphasized that the Liberal Party remains united in its values despite the ongoing disputes.
Summary
The Liberal Party faces internal challenges with Sussan Ley under pressure, but she insists on party unity and refrains from addressing leadership speculation directly.
