Overview
- Andrew Hastie moved to the backbench after being cut out of immigration policy development and says he is not mounting a leadership challenge.
- Sussan Ley told shadow ministers her office had no access to election‑review material, as colleagues traded blame over leaks that aired Dutton’s criticisms of Hastie.
- Review co-chair Nick Minchin said Dutton avoided criticising shadow ministers in his interview, even as media reports cite him alleging Hastie “went on strike.”
- First-term MP Mary Aldred rebuked the handling of Hastie’s resignation in the party room and urged Liberals to stop infighting and target Labor.
- Newspoll shows the Coalition at 28% primary support with One Nation at 11% and Labor leading 57–43 on two-party terms, as the chamber turns to triple‑zero laws and Senate estimates.
