Liberal Senator Questions Sussan Ley's Leadership Amid Net Zero Debate
Senior Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson has voiced concerns about Sussan Ley's leadership as tensions rise within the Coalition over net zero policies.
Internal Party Pressure and Upcoming Showdown
The Liberal Party faces increasing pressure to clarify its position on net zero, especially after the Nationals abandoned the policy. A decisive partyroom meeting is scheduled for Sunday, November 16, to determine the Coalition's final stance.
Senator Henderson’s Critique
In an interview with Sky News Australia host Peter Stefanovic, Senator Henderson, who opposes the net zero policy, highlighted the weakening support for Ms Ley in the partyroom.
"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."
When asked about Ms Ley’s current standing, Henderson stated:
"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. I don't support things the way they are at the moment."
Summary
Senator Henderson expresses serious doubts about Sussan Ley’s leadership amid poor polling and internal divisions, yet holds hope for a political turnaround.
