Overview

• Sussan Ley praised Peter Dutton’s record and told LNP delegates the Coalition will honour his legacy by reclaiming Dickson and every seat it lost.
• Ley said the Liberal Party must modernise and broaden its appeal after too many urban voters could not see themselves in it.
• She promised to take a complete economic policy to the next election rather than a collection of slogans.
• Peter Dutton attended the Brisbane convention, received a standing ovation, backed Ley and David Littleproud, called for unity, and said he will not return to politics.
• Ley cast Queensland as the Coalition’s launch pad for recovery, noting it holds 16 of the state’s 30 seats, as party delegates separately urged a non‑binding shift away from a net zero mandate.
