Sussan Ley may pay the price for the implosion of the Coalition, but the blame rests squarely with Nationals leader David Littleproud.
The Liberal-National Coalition is over for the second time in less than 12 months, this time over hate crimes legislation.
The Coalition is on the brink of collapse with all the Nationals’ shadow cabinet members saying they will resign in solidarity with the three Nationals defectors.

Ley says the Liberals will prioritise affordable, reliable energy, but provided no estimates for claims they’d bring down energy prices.
