Opposition’s Reaction to Ley’s Leadership
Scott Buchholz, the Opposition Skills and Training spokesman, advised observers against interpreting Sussan Ley’s “feminine politeness” as a sign of weakness. Buchholz emphasized the difference in leadership styles between Ley and her predecessor, Peter Dutton.
“Don’t mistake her feminine politeness for weakness. We have come from a previous leadership style of authoritarian [under Dutton] to now a consultative, and some people mistake that, but there are just different styles of leadership.”
Buchholz praised Ley’s achievements despite challenging circumstances but acknowledged the party’s struggle with her leadership style. He also criticized Victorian Liberal senator Sarah Henderson’s comments this morning, calling them “career-limiting.”
Party Mood Post-Election
Buchholz described the Liberal Party as being in a period of grief and needing time to recover following their election defeat in May.
