Opposition Leader Sussan Ley chose not to respond to statements from Liberal senator Sarah Henderson, who claimed the Liberal leader was losing backing within the party room.
Sarah Henderson said the Liberal leader was "losing support in the party room."
The day unfolded with unexpected political activity, culminating in a press conference featuring Sussan Ley at the Hyatt Hotel in Canberra. ABC photographer Luke Stephenson attended and captured photos from the event.
During the conference, Ley was questioned on how she plans to bridge divisions within her party and unify the Liberal ranks. She noted that she would discuss the matter further following the meeting on net zero next Wednesday.
The ABC’s live political blog wrapped up for the day, promising to return next week with continued coverage of federal politics. Readers were encouraged to revisit the day’s developments or follow updates via the ABC News app.
Sussan Ley avoided responding to internal criticism while outlining plans to address party unity and future climate policy discussions.
