Senior Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson has voiced serious concerns about Sussan Ley's leadership amid growing debates within the Coalition over the net zero policy.
The Liberal Party has faced mounting pressure to clarify its position on net zero emissions, especially after the Nationals abandoned the policy. A partyroom meeting is scheduled for Sunday, November 16, to finalize the Coalition’s stance.
In an interview with Sky News Australia host Peter Stefanovic, Senator Henderson, who opposes the net zero policy, criticized the current state of the party and its leadership.
“I cannot support the way things are.” “We’ve had a dire Newspoll result, a primary vote of just 24 per cent.” “I do think Sussan is losing support, but I do believe in miracles, we can turn things around.”
Senator Henderson expressed doubt about Ms Ley’s ability to maintain the party’s confidence, highlighting the need for change to recover from poor polling results.
