'Big moment': Sussan Ley wins Liberal Party leadership contest
Sky News AM Agenda host Laura Jayes says it is a “big moment” as Sussan Ley has become the first woman to lead the federal Liberal Party after having defeated rival candidate Angus Taylor in a tightly contested leadership ballot.
Ms Ley won the ballot on Tuesday after stepping up from deputy leader following former leader Peter Dutton’s ousting from the parliament.
She won 29 of the partyroom votes compared to 25 in favour of Angus Taylor.
