Overview
- The funeral is scheduled for Friday morning at St Matthew’s Anglican Church in Albury, with family, friends and Coalition colleagues expected to attend.
- Ley became the first woman to lead the Liberal Party on May 11 and her mother died on May 17 after receiving end-of-life care at Riverwood Aged Care Facility.
- She drove down the Hume Highway to be at her mother’s bedside immediately after her party-room vote victory.
- A FaceTime call organised by their parish priest enabled Angela Braybrooks, who was no longer verbal, to see Ley’s leadership announcement before her passing.
- Relations between the Liberal Party and Nationals have been restored following a brief break in their coalition after Braybrooks’s death.
