Liberal MPs Andrew Hastie and Angus Taylor are expected to meet in Melbourne today to negotiate a deal to put forward a single candidate from the party’s conservative faction to challenge Opposotion leader Sussan Ley. However, a leadership spill is considered unlikly when parliament resumes next week, given that the majority of the Liberals’ moderates have expressed support for Ley. Meanwhile, Nationals leader David Littleproud has refuted suggestions that the party rebuffed Ley’s request for the two leaders to meet in a bid to reunite the Coalition. Littleproud has indicated that he is prepared to hold talks with Ley after the Nationals have dealt with their own spill motion; the motion to be put forward by Queensland MP Colin Boyce is not expected to gain much traction among his colleagues.
