susan ley should retire at the next election - whether she is leader or not, the liberals will struggle to even hold the seats they’ve got - neither hastie nor taylor should be in a hurry to be leader - it’ll be a long long time till a liberal opposition leader becomes PM.

Is it for publicity or is she simply insane? She also noted a number of everyday professions that were as dangerous as the military?
