Hume Backs Ley Amid Questions Over Leadership Fitness
Deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley has responded cautiously to criticism of her leadership, maintaining that the Liberal Party remains united despite internal tensions. Her comments come after a backbencher suggested she was losing the confidence of her colleagues.
Leadership Criticism and Party Turmoil
Ms Ley faced renewed scrutiny following claims that support for her within the party room is slipping. The Liberals are preparing to settle internal disputes regarding an emissions target and finalize an energy policy agenda in the coming week.
These developments follow several months of internal division that have unsettled Ms Ley’s position, with recent public remarks from Senator Sarah Henderson highlighting unease among some members.
“I am just going to say at the moment that I cannot support the way things are,” said Senator Sarah Henderson in an interview with Sky News when asked if she supported Ley’s leadership.
Ley’s Response to Speculation
Speaking to reporters in Canberra, Ms Ley refused to engage in discussions about her leadership or the internal criticism.
“I value every single member of my team, including Senator Henderson,” she said. “In order to interrogate her views, you should probably ask her. I’m not commenting on commentary.”
She reaffirmed her commitment to party unity, insisting the Liberal Party remains bound by its shared principles and values.
“The Liberal Party is united through its values,” she stated.
Summary
Amid internal challenges and policy debates, Sussan Ley emphasizes party unity while declining to directly address doubts about her leadership.
