flag Liberal leader Sussan Ley holds firm amid internal rifts over energy policy after Nationals dropped 2050 net-zero goal.

flag Liberal leader Sussan Ley remains confident in her leadership amid growing internal divisions over the coalition’s energy policy, following the Nationals’ abandonment of their 2050 net-zero target and a poll showing historic lows in Liberal support. flag Ley stated she never backed “net-zero at any cost” and is sticking to her promise not to make unilateral decisions, emphasizing party diversity. flag Speculation about a leadership challenge intensified after rivals Andrew Hastie and Angus Taylor were seen dining together, though party insiders downplay an imminent spill. flag A key meeting of Liberal MPs and senators is expected by November 23 to finalize the party’s energy strategy. flag Former MP Phillip Ruddock criticized the Nationals’ move as damaging to unity, while moderates like Andrew Bragg and Tim Wilson warned abandoning the net-zero goal could harm Australia’s global standing and risk turning the Liberals into a political echo of the Nationals. flag Ley declined to comment on colleagues’ remarks, focusing instead on guiding the party through the policy debate.
