Next Liberal leader - 2025

[Dixie Flatline]

Andrew Hastie-Tim Wilson joint ticket, and Wilson can tell everyone he's ambitious for Andrew Hastie.

The ALP are having a real laugh over this. I live in Ley's electorate, and she is the most ineffective fool of a politician. Completely self-serving and disappears when any trouble emerges. A few years back, after she misused public money and had to step down from the cabinet, she was going to be dropped from pre-selection. She copied the Kelly strategy and started a private bill about the treatment of sheep. This was to embarrass the LNP. The bill was dropped when they allowed her back in. BTW her primary vote had an 8.7% swing against her.

I can’t have that… are you aware of Dan Tehan?

Ley off to a big anti-Palestinian racist start and some trumped up anti-semitism propaganda.

 

[Jascave]

I predict that Sussan Ley will last 6-12 months as leader of the opposition, because seeing that she won by only 4 votes, will mean Ley had better start watching her back from day 1. Angus Taylor will be lobbying behind the scenes to get another leadership spill done sooner rather than later. And Taylor will have the backing of the 'Sky News After Dark' team (ie Credlin, Bolt, Murray) for his bid to be leader of the Liberals. So, if Ley thinks she can unify the party from the opening day of parliament, she's sadly mistaken. Ley's colleagues might be friendly on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are already sharpening the knives, and are waiting for Ley to stuff things up so they can move another leadership vote against her.

She was formerly on the “Friends of Palestine” parliamentary group so to achieve any type of success in the current LNP she must disavow that previous position to the max.

Also interesting was her statement on standing in front of an indigenous flag which was as “each way” as you can get. Looks like her leadership will be defined by trying to placate everyone (except pro Palestine obviously) meaning she’ll be destroyed by the right as being not right wing enough.

If i could have bet on her walking back her support for the Palestine people and statehood i would have put the house on it.

I read that - what the **** are the Liberals on about?

Hamas deserve every drive bye Sussan Ley cares to give them, but so does the Israel government.

Why are the Liberal Party so hell bent on picking sides like this?

Terrorists v Genocidal regime - there is no winner.

 

[Gough]

Slightly younger than Arty Calwell is one of the most positive things I've read about her today. per the graund blog.

At 63 years and five months old, Ley is just a handful of weeks younger than Arthur Calwell was when he took the Labor leadership in 1960. Calwell went up against Robert Menzies and Harold Holt.

 

[Burro]

"She's going up now Jacinta" "Not for long Angus"

 

[Cyber_punk]

She'll be knived well before the next election, but the LNP/Aus MAGA meltdown on x is already glorious to see. Their supporters have already called her a 'communist', "a DEI hire", 'woke' and 'too far to the left'

 

[Romeoh1]

I’m definitely not a fan and the only positive thing is that she’s preferable to the other team that was running. Albo will be way too smart for her.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Albo will be way too smart for her.

Agreed, in much the same way that Hewson struggled against Keating.

Will any Palestinians supporters fund them?

A repeat of Truss vs Sunak? Didn’t they both prove to be winners? Not.

 

[Not Important]

I'm guessing he has greater ambitious than to be a sacrificial placeholder

maybe. my guess is his ego is such that he’d have thought he could bring the party back from the precipice. just didn’t have the numbers.

is it too early for the lettuce?

The Sky After Dark crowd is going to have fun undermining her for the next 4 or 5 months she remains as leader:

 

[Seeds]

It really depends on the modelling you're reading in to. CSIRO's or what the Liberals commissioned.

I know people who worked on the liberals modelling. The modelling is far more garbage then the media even realise.

 

[Jascave]

Didn't take long for the 'Sky After Dark' crew to get stuck into Sussan Ley, just hours after being elected as the first female leader of the Liberal Party. Maybe they're still pining for their beloved Tony Abbott to make a political comeback, including Andrew Bolt.

Haha. Only she isn’t Turnbull in a skirt. Turnbull was smart.

 

[Rotayjay]

Yes they keep saying Price has overwhelming popularity. I'd just love to know: with whom?

With racists who loved seeing a person who looks like a 'real' Aboriginal* agreeing with them on the Voice, and who was a main architect of the Voice's demise.

*Racists who also think you need to look a certain way to be Indigenous

 

[QuietB]

Will any Palestinians supporters fund them?

They will vote against them. And anyone who is appalled by the genocide will vote against them.

Picking fights for **** all gain is not a winning strategy. Liberals have learnt nothing

No one listens to Sky after dark but people think they do. They can be ignored.

What all those quoted have in common is that they never had the courage to put their hands up themselves.

I did read an article once from a former Liberal who said their MPs in Canberra switch on Sky after 6pm and watch it all night. They derive their policy agenda from it. It may only get 10,000 viewers nationwide but they are basically Liberal staffers and branch members.
