Sussan Ley has announced her resignation from politics after losing leadership of the Liberal Party to Angus Taylor.
“I’m not sure what comes next for me. I look forward to stepping away completely and comprehensively from public life, to spend time with my family, to reconnect with my enduring passion — aviation,” she said.
Ley has congratulated Taylor, saying she’ll be “cheering” his team on against “this awful Labor government”.
Her departure will now trigger a by-election in her electorate of Farrer in south-western NSW.
