As Liberal Party Leader, I have committed to a full assessment of why we lost the election. Properly understanding the causes of our defeat helps us determine the direction in which we must head. 

I am optimistic we can rebuild and regain the trust of Australians, but as we work out why we lost the election and decide the path forward, there are things which I can make clear are not going to change. 

Our policies are up for review. But our values are not.

The Liberal Party I lead will not be altering our enduring commitment to what is best for Australia’s national interest. 

We will always stand for lower, simpler, and fairer taxes — not as an economic ideology, but because we trust people to spend their own money more than we do the government.
 
We will always take education seriously, not for slogans or funding battles, but because knowledge and critical thinking are so important – especially for our children.
 
We will always support families, not just with payments, but with policies that respect their choices — in childcare, housing, education, and retirement.

And we continue our steadfast support of our alliances and security agreements like ANZUS and AUKUS, because we must have an urgent, honest conversation with Australians about the deteriorating geo-political environment in our region. 

The next steps for our party are focused on listening to the community and rebuilding our movement. 

We are ready to do the work. We are up for it.
It is an enormous privilege to have been elected the Leader of the Liberal Party. I am humbled by the support of my colleagues and together we will work every single day to rebuild trust with the Australian people.

I will lead a Liberal Party that respects modern Australia, reflects modern Australia and represents modern Australia.

Congratulations to Deputy Leader @ted.obrien.mp - together we will work hard with our entire party room to build a real alternative over the next three years.
Congratulations to @sussanleymp, elected as Leader of the Liberal Party.
STATEMENT - LIBERAL PARTY LEADERSHIP

Since our significant election defeat, I have had many conversations and listened to many everyday Australians. I have also spoken with my Liberal Party colleagues, candidates, former leaders of our Federal, State and Territory parties, Coalition partners as well as our wider party members and supporters. 

It is clear that we got it wrong, and that Australia expects a change in direction and a fresh approach from the Liberal Party.

Therefore, standing here in Albury where our movement was first formed, I announce my candidacy for the position of Federal Leader of the Liberal Party.

The Liberal Party needs to listen to the Australian people and meet them where they are. We need to understand their aspirations. 

We need to build a new economic narrative. We need new policy offerings that show Australians we can help them and their families get ahead. 

I have been humbled by the overwhelming support that I have received so far and am greatly encouraged by the faith and trust being placed in me by so many parliamentary colleagues.

We need to listen and we need to change. The Liberal Party must respect modern Australia, reflect modern Australia and represent modern Australia.

Many Australians, including women and younger Australians, feel neglected by the Liberal Party. We must rebuild trust with all sections of Australian society and my election as Leader of the Liberal Party would send a very strong signal that we understand things need to be done differently.

We have an enormous depth of talent in our party room and I want to draw on all of it over the next three years. We will carefully develop policies through our robust party room processes, supported by our broader membership, to deliver better outcomes for all Australians. Under my leadership, these policies will always be guided by the timeless values which were the foundation of Menzies’ Liberal Party.

Now more than ever, we need to step up as Liberals. Together, we can rise to the historic challenge facing us over these next three years and earn back the trust of all Australians.
A big thank you to the millions of Australians who supported the Liberal Party and the Coalition.
Thank you to all of our supporters and volunteers for working day in and day out to get our country back on track!
Vote Liberal to get Australia back on track!
Finishing the day at my home booth, PCYC in East Albury. 

Serving the people of Farrer for almost 25 years has been the greatest professional privilege of my life and I have never been more determined than I am today to keep working hard for the many beautiful communities that make up this electorate.

This is the best region, in the best state in the best country in the world!
Vote Liberal to get Australia back on track.
We live in the best country in the world but we can make it even better with a Coalition Government! Come on down and make the change at Albury Public!
Good afternoon Albury High! Less than three hours left to cast your vote for a stronger and safer Australia!
Every time he is off mute, he lies. Just end the call today.
The choice is clear.
