Senior Liberals downplay prospect of leadership spill and urge colleagues ‘get on with the job’

Senior Liberal figures are publicly dismissing the possibility of a leadership challenge against Sussan Ley, the current leader. Amidst ongoing speculation about Angus Taylor's leadership aspirations, key Liberals like Anne Ruston and Ted O'Brien have voiced their support for Ley. Ruston stated her belief that Ley has the backing of the party room. O'Brien went further, suggesting that any shadow frontbencher who doesn't support Ley should resign. These senior Liberals are urging their colleagues to focus on holding the government accountable rather than engaging in internal leadership battles. The comments come as rumors persist about potential challenges to Ley's leadership.
