AI Summary

Angus Taylor is expected to challenge Sussan Ley for leadership of the Liberal party in Australia. Conservative MPs believe a leadership vote is likely this week, driven by concerns over recent polling data. A Newspoll survey revealed the Coalition's primary vote had dropped significantly, falling behind Pauline Hanson's One Nation party. Taylor's supporters feel a change in leadership is necessary following the poor poll results and recent instability within the Coalition. The challenge is anticipated due to dissatisfaction among conservative members regarding the party's current direction.
