Does the Coalition respect Sussan Ley?

from Politics Now · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

It's been another turbulent week for the Coalition, with the Nationals ditching net zero — and leaving the Liberal party divided on whether to do the same.And while the moderate and conservatives pull in different directions, the fallout has only further destabilised Sussan Ley's hold on the leadership. But as Jason Koutsoukis tells PK and Mel the events have also highlighted the "lack of respect" Coalition MPs are paying to the Opposition leader.Meanwhile, recent comments from Liberal leadership hopeful Andrew Hastie have raised eyebrows. The WA MP has called for clarification that Baby Priya's Bill, which will force employers to not cancel parental leave after stillbirth or neonatal death, won't apply to late term abortions. So, does the move damage his future leadership chances?Guest: Jason Koutsoukis, Saturday Paper special correspondent Fill out our survey here: https://forms.office.com/r/rGwzw6Xu32TICKETS TO THE LIVE SHOW HERE: https://canberratheatrecentre.com.au/show/politics-now-live/Got a burning question?Got a burning political query?
