Angus Taylor Challenges Sussan Ley for Liberal Leadership
The Spin
Conservative narrative
With Labor running the country ragged through its gross incompetence, the Liberal Party desperately needs strong leadership and a clear return to core values to hold the government to account. Ley's ability, however, is found wanting, necessitating the urgent change only Taylor can provide, lest the party risk losing its way and place in politics entirely.
Liberal/National Coalition narrative
What the Australian people need at this time is a credible alternative to Labor, equipped with clear policies, not further Liberal Party drama. The Liberals' focus, therefore, should be on championing Ley's goals instead of undermining them, as these policies will make Australia stronger, more prosperous and safer in the future.
Australian Labor Party narrative
The Liberal Party's latest pantomime reveals exactly why it cannot be trusted to govern, nor fix the issues that Australia faces. Regardless of who wins Friday's spill, whether it be Ley or Taylor, a leadership change will not alter the Liberals' failed policies. Instead, they will persist on the same tired old platform, all while fighting more among themselves than for the country.
