Liberal leadership: Jane Hume declares Sussan Ley has the Party’s support, not Angus Taylor, Andrew Hastie

Not-so-secret talks between Liberal leadership hopefuls Andrew Hastie and Angus Taylor appears to have granted Sussan Ley more time as Opposition Leader. Liberal Senator Jane Hume said on Friday that “Sussan Ley is the leader and she continues to have the support of her party room”. “It was an entirely unedifying moment,” Senator Hume said.

So Ms Ley still has a few big days ahead to hold on to her reported support.
