#Victorian Liberal leader #BradBattin will face a #leadership #challenge this morning from shadow treasurer and first term MP #JessWilson, less than a year before the state election.
#SussanLey's leadership has been under threat in recent weeks as reports have emerged that #AndrewHastie & #AngusTaylor may be potential challengers, & the Liberal Party has dropped its commitment to net zero.
Opposition Leader Sussan Ley guarantees she will remain leader until next election
Opposition Leader Sussan Ley says she can “guarantee” voters that she will lead the Coalition into the next…

#Australia needs to up its #defence #spending, says shadow minister for #SuckingUpToTrump #AngusTaylor.
Taylor says spending must reach 3% of GDP to be able to pay for #AUKUS, & points out that the PM hasn’t met with #Trump at a time when the #US is still reviewing the defence pact.
The government has committed to increasing spending to 2.4% of GDP by 2033-34, but Taylor told #Murdochracy it should go further. #auspol
But would you be willing personally to be deployed on the front line #AngusTaylor ?

'We have to have a fresh approach': #SussanLey becomes first woman to lead #LiberalParty after defeating #AngusTaylor.
Libs say they need to change direction & learn from their thumping defeat.
Will they abandon fake #nuclear plans? NO
Will they support #NetZero? NO
Will they stop scapegoating #migrants? NO
Will they accept there IS a #ClimateCrisis? NO
YUP. They’ve definitely changed direction #auspol
The swearing in of the #Albo ministry was scheduled for exactly the same time as the #LiberalParty's #leadership vote.
Live coverage toggled back & forth between the governor-general's & the Liberal party room, where TV cameras captured leadership candidate #AngusTaylor attempting to enter via a locked door. [Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus!]

#JacintaPrice has also emerged from the party room, remaining tight-lipped as she walked past the media.
She did not end up putting her hand up for deputy leader after #AngusTaylor lost the leadership ballot.
She said:
“I’ll be making comments in due course.” #auspol
#TimWilson is considering vying with the shadow treasurer, #AngusTaylor, & #SussanLey for the #LiberalParty #leadership, although a final decision was yet to be made.
I saw this movie as a kid #auspol - “The Incredible Shrinking #RWNJ Party”
A tiny, tiny man standing on the palm of a hand, yelling “We are a major party! Really! Can you hear me? Hello? I’m down here!”
It's worth noting a detail here: Jacinta Nampijinpa Price repeated a speechmaking fallacy made by Peter Dutton in his grudging-acceptance-of-losing-the-2025-election speech.
They both quoted a 1942 slogan by Robert Menzies, founder of the Liberal Party, "The Forgotten People," but they have no idea what it means.
Howard, Abbott, Turnbull, and Dutton forgot all about the people the Liberal Party serves. The party of Menzies is long dead.
In case it's not clear, this is a satirical post — it starts quoting what Jacinta Nampijinpa Price really said, then I made it veer into what she really meant.

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price nominates for Liberal deputy leadership
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has formally nominated for Liberal deputy leader, days after leaving the Nationals party room. Price will run with Angus Taylor, and said in a statement, the decision brings "A great deal of power, which I crave. I debased myself in support of Peter Dutton's [failed] election campaign for the attention and public profile. They owe me even though they own me."
