Overview

  • The federal executive voted 20 to 1 to appoint a steering committee led by former NSW premier Nick Greiner.
  • Alan Stockdale and Richard Alston were ousted from the committee following Stockdale’s comments suggesting support for men due to “assertive” women.
  • The newly formed committee features Peta Seaton, Jane Buncle, Berenice Walker, Peter O’Hanlon, James Owen and treasurer Mark Baillie.
  • Federal control of the NSW Liberals has been extended until March 30, 2026, to address organisational failures and electoral losses.
  • Leaders Sussan Ley and Mark Speakman endorsed the overhaul to strengthen party rules after a record federal election defeat and a failure to nominate over 140 local government candidates.
