Summary

Liberal MPs will soon elect a new leader as Peter Dutton's defeat in the federal election signals the next round of leadership competition. Sussan Ley, known for her extensive experience and diverse background, Angus Taylor with his consulting expertise though facing criticism during the campaign, and Dan Tehan, who has struggled in his seat but remains a viable option, are all running for the top spot. The party hasn't yet set a timeline for the leadership ballot, which could be delayed until other races conclude with an acting whip managing the process.
