This morning, the Liberal Party elected Sussan Ley as our new leader. I congratulate Sussan on making history as the first woman to lead the federal Liberals and thank her for stepping up to guide our party forward.
I also congratulate Ted O’Brien on his election as Deputy Leader – a great result for Queensland and a recognition of his commitment and experience.
I want to acknowledge Angus Taylor for his candidacy and thank him for his ongoing contribution to our team.
Now is the time to come together. The Australian people have sent us a clear message – and our task is to listen, reflect, and rebuild.
I look forward to working with Sussan, Ted and the leadership team as we reset and refocus on the issues that matter most to Australians.
ENDS.
