Sussssan is hopeless, but I can't think of a suitable alternative.

They're all hopeless.

“ Sussan Ley undermined by ‘the boys’ from day one, Senior Liberal says after nightmare poll

A senior Liberal has delivered a damning assessment of what’s really been happening behind the scenes.”

It was only a matter of time before she played the poor female victim card.

She’s a serial expense rorter / thief.

She had no place in politics once she forced too resign as a minister in Scomo government.

Her idea of team building is to form small groups and argue with the other small groups.

Yes, while:

(google)

Recent polling indicates that around 77% of Australians support stronger climate action, and 60-91% acknowledge climate change, with many favoring a shift away from fossil fuels.  

So the 'schizophrenic' Coal-ition is losing the  1/3 of voters  who are climate deniers, to Pauline's ON. 

But as for Susan's leadership: the current hysteria re the Coal-ition's "18% support" in the lastest Oz poll is premature - the Libs and Nats have only just 'kissed and made up', ie, after that Oz poll was measured.

Three years of the Coal-ition would be worse.

Interestingly, Pauline (if she was elected PM) could take a leaf out of Sanae Takaichi's book, and cut taxes without cutting spending, while ignoring government debt.

So long as Oz can flog high-priced  iron ore to China, an Oz PM might be able to avoid Liz Truss's fate.

Yeah I think so frank.
Out of the ashes , hopefully we get a corey bernardi, Pauline hansen, jacinta price, peta credlin , Andrew bolt alliance.
A dream team of strong powerful passionate patriots.

The Liberals will recover, hopefully not for a long time. They do not deserve to survive but they will.

I hope you're right.

With an opposition like that, Labor would easily win the next four or five elections.

They hate her, much like Turnbull, because she is not a climate denying troglodyte.

The Liberals never learn, so they are destined for oblivion.

The Libs have been useless since Fraser, just like the Consevatives in England or the CDU undel Merkel, Schroder and Kohl   in Germany p, Francs undee Mitterand anx Chirac, or the Republicans undeer Romney, McCain and the Bushes.


Labor is useless, have been under Rudd Gillard, Alboweasel.


Political atrophy.
