Liberal Party insiders contend that an increasingly acrimonious leadership contest is undermining efforts to rebuild in the wake of Saturday’s election rout. Sussan Ley, Dan Tehan and Angus Taylor are expected to be in contention to succeed Peter Dutton as Opposition leader. Supporters of Ley have rejected claims that she has offered prime shadow cabinet portfolios in exchange for votes in a leadership ballot. A number of Liberal MPs have called for Ley and Tehan to run on a ‘unity ticket’, with some suggesting that the latter would garner enough support to be deputy leader but not enough to take the top job. Meanwhile, former prime minister Tony Abbott says the Liberals’ leadership has lacked "courage and conviction" in recent times.
