‘Losing support’: Liberal Senator raises serious concerns with Sussan Ley’s leadership

Senior Liberal Senator Questions Sussan Ley’s Leadership

Senior Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson has raised serious concerns about Sussan Ley's leadership as tensions rise within the Coalition regarding net zero policies.

Internal Party Debate on Net Zero

The Liberal Party faces increasing pressure to clarify its position on net zero emissions, especially after the Nationals abandoned the policy. A crucial partyroom meeting is scheduled for Sunday, November 16, to finalize the Coalition’s stance.

Senator Henderson’s Comments

"I cannot support the way things are ahead of the partyroom showdown on net zero."
"I can't pretend things are good. We've had a dire Newspoll result, a primary vote of just 24 per cent. Things are not traveling well."
"I do have to say, really honestly, I do think Sussan is losing support, but I do believe in miracles, we can turn things around."

Senator Henderson openly criticized the current leadership and expressed doubt about Ms Ley’s ability to maintain support within the party at this critical juncture.

Upcoming Partyroom Showdown

The partyroom will meet next week to determine the final position on net zero emissions, with significant implications for both the Liberal Party and the Coalition.

Summary

Senator Henderson voices growing unrest over Sussan Ley's leadership amid the Liberal Party’s uncertain future on net zero policy and poor polling results.
