'Sort something out': Liberal titan's warning for Sussan Ley

“Sort Something Out”: Liberal Titan’s Warning for Sussan Ley

Liberal Party elder Bronwyn Bishop has warned that the Coalition’s future looks bleak amid ongoing internal conflicts. She urged the party to resolve leadership tensions by abandoning net zero policies.

Party Turmoil and Leadership Doubts

The Liberal Party remains deeply divided after Senator Sarah Henderson voiced her lack of support for Opposition Leader Sussan Ley’s leadership. Henderson stated she “cannot support the way things are” and highlighted the party's poor performance in recent polls.

“I can't pretend things are good. We've had a dire Newspoll result, a primary vote of just 24 per cent. Things are not traveling well,” said Senator Henderson.

Despite these challenges, Henderson expressed cautious optimism: “I do have to say, really honestly, I do think Sussan is losing support, but I do believe in miracles, we can turn things around.”

Leadership Response and Party Divisions

When asked about Henderson’s comments, Ley declined to name the Senator directly but expressed pride in her team. Nevertheless, Bronwyn Bishop emphasized that the party's disunity will persist for “quite some time” without significant change.

“It is not looking good” for the Coalition, Bishop warned, and the Liberal Party will continue to fracture until Sussan Ley “allows dignity to prevail” by walking away from net zero.

Summary

The Liberal Party faces ongoing internal strife and poor public support, with key figures urging a decisive shift away from net zero policies to restore unity and leadership strength.
