From Nuclear to Nature Laws, Here’s Where New Liberal Leader Sussan Ley Stands on 4 Energy and Environment Flashpoints
- Sussan Ley was elected Liberal leader on Tuesday after defeating Angus Taylor and Jacinta Nampijnpa Price in a 29-to-25 party room vote.
- Ley’s leadership follows the Coalition’s election loss and internal divisions over nuclear power, net-zero emissions, and a planned sweeping policy review.
- Ley held the position of environment minister between 2019 and 2022 and introduced two legislative proposals aimed at amending federal environmental laws; however, both bills expired prior to the 2022 election because they did not receive Senate approval.
- Ley supports nuclear power as a zero-emissions option, prioritizes streamlining environmental approvals, and expresses concerns about insurance and fire risks from renewable energy infrastructure.
- Ley faces challenges uniting the fractured Coalition, reaching agreement with the Nationals on nuclear policy, and addressing voter swings against nuclear projects in multiple electorates.
