Australia's Liberal Party ousts first woman leader
AI Summary
Sussan Ley has been ousted as leader of Australia's Liberal Party after only nine months, losing a leadership ballot to Angus Taylor. Ley, the first woman to lead the party, was elected after the Liberal-National Coalition's defeat in last year's election. Taylor's challenge followed months of speculation and internal conflict within the Coalition, stemming from disagreements on policy and the reasons for their election loss. Taylor, from the party's conservative faction, won the secret ballot with 34 votes to 17. Following the vote, Ley announced her resignation from parliament and public life. Taylor, a former management consultant and minister under previous governments, expressed his commitment to working with new deputy leader Jane Hume.
