Sussan Ley's leadership of the Liberal Party is reportedly nearing its end, with senior colleagues expressing confidence that a recent Coalition split over hate speech laws signals the end of her tenure. This split, the second in eight months, has led to calls for a leadership spill, with Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie emerging as potential contenders. Tim Wilson and Ted O'Brien have also been mentioned, though they are considered outsiders. The situation is further complicated by the possibility of a similar outcome for David Littleproud's leadership of the Nationals, adding to the political turmoil. The Coalition's unity is at stake, and the party room's scheduled meeting on February 3rd may bring about significant changes in the leadership structure.
