Senior Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson has publicly voiced concerns about Sussan Ley’s leadership amid growing internal debates in the Coalition regarding the net zero policy.
Senator Henderson expressed that she cannot support the current direction of the party as it approaches a critical partyroom meeting on net zero emissions. The Liberal Party faces pressure to clarify its position, especially after the Nationals dropped the policy.
The decisive partyroom showdown is scheduled for Sunday, November 16, where a final Coalition stance on net zero will be determined.
“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. I don't support things the way they are at the moment.”
Senator Henderson’s remarks underline growing dissatisfaction within the Liberal Party regarding leadership and policy direction as the net zero debate intensifies.
