Congratulations to @sussanleymp on her election to lead the Federal Liberals, the first woman to do so.
Under Sussan’s leadership, the Liberal Party can offer a compelling vision grounded in our core values of individual freedom, personal responsibility, reward for effort, and opportunity and a fair go for all.
The NSW Liberals look forward to working with Sussan and her Deputy @ted.obrien.mp to renew the Liberal Party and ultimately deliver better outcomes for all Australians. ... See MoreSee Less

Best wishes for tremendous success.
Two incredibly sensible leaders. We are lucky in NSW. Onward and upward 🙏🏼💪🏼
Congrats
Congratulations!
Fingers crossed!
Congratulations Susan let's make Australia number 1 again 🇭🇲
Congratulations to the next PM

The Labor govt. and its jackals will tear her to shreds. There is no point in electing a woman leader just because of her sex, unless she has the character and ability of a Margaret Thatcher or a Giorgia Meloni.
The other bloke was blown away by even mention of the potential deputy.
Only way Australian's can have a fair go is if Net Zero is dropped
Due to the closeness of the vote, I think she may have tumultuous time , trying to unite this rabble.
Just fold the party and start again
Unfortunately they are both
Liberals are supposed to have a conscience and support religion, little of this have we seen!!!
Congratulations Susan, go girl, go!
I am counting on you to get things going for Libs. .
VOTE NO Australia need to stop KILLING THEIR INNOCENT CHILDREN! www.facebook.com/DrJoannaHowe/videos/2071684856641316
What’s she going to do about excessive taxation and regulations
Congratulations Sussan. I would have been happy with either you or Angus. I see from the abhorrent comments, the Labor Lying Party supporters; obviously are very salty. Hilarious!
To the new party
Need to know where she stands on what is man & woman & climate folly
Wrong choice…..
Don't support the abortion bill or it will be the last time vote liberal !!!!
Please vote against the radical abortion bill today please!!!! Please stand for the voiceless.

The election of Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost as the 267th pope is a moment of great significance for Catholics around the world.
May Pope Leo XIV’s leadership bring strength and renewal to the faithful and hope, goodwill and justice to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
