Liberal Senator Questions Sussan Ley's Leadership Amid Coalition Struggles
A Liberal senator has raised concerns about Opposition Leader Sussan Ley’s standing within the coalition as the party faces internal conflicts and key policy decisions on net-zero emissions targets.
Senator Sarah Henderson Speaks Out
After weeks of intense infighting and leadership speculation, former frontbencher Sarah Henderson expressed her doubts about continuing to support the current direction under Ley’s leadership ahead of an important party meeting.
"I do have to say really honestly, I do think Sussan is losing support," Senator Henderson told Sky News. "But I do believe in miracles."
When asked if the party could recover with Ley leading, Henderson paused before reaffirming her inability to support the current situation.
"I'm not in the business of throwing anyone under the bus, I'm stating the bleeding obvious, we are in a dire situation," she said. "The infighting has been terrible and I'm terribly sorry about what's been going on in the Liberal Party."
Context and Policy Positions
Senator Henderson, who was removed from the shadow cabinet following Ley’s leadership ascent, acknowledged the opposition leader’s move to convene a series of meetings as an important step toward finalizing energy and climate policies.
"I vehemently oppose net zero in all of its guises, it's sending our country backwards," the conservative senator declared.
