Follow the latest updates live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Charlotte Mortlock, the high profile former Coalition staffer and leader of grassroots organisation Hilma’s Network, has left the Liberal party, days after Sussan Ley was ousted by Angus Taylor. Hilma’s Network was formed by Mortlock to bring “Liberal-minded” women together and push the party to preselect more women. Mortlock has been a vocal advocate for modernisation in the Liberal party, including pushing for the party to support net zero targets, and was part of a small team who designed a plan for gender quotas in New South Wales preselections. I have decided the time has come for me to step down as executive director of Hilma’s Network and I have also relinquished my Liberal party membership. Due to recent events I have decided there are other ways I can support women and Australia. A reset on immigration is profoundly important. We want to see a lower number of people come to our country, but we also want to raise the standards. What that looks like, I won’t get into the details today. But I think all Australians know if you come here, coming to Australia, living in Australia is one of the greatest gifts that could ever be given to anybody. Which is why we want to make sure the people who do come here share our beliefs, share our respect for the rule of law and for democracy. Continue reading...

Australia news live: PM announces $3.9bn ‘downpayment’ for SA Aukus sub facilities; high-profile Liberal quits party
Der australische Premierminister hat eine Finanzierung für AUKUS-U-Boot-Infrastruktur in South Australia angekündigt. Gleichzeitig hat die ehemalige Koalitionsmitarbeiterin Charlotte Mortlock ihre Mitgliedschaft in der Liberalen Partei aufgegeben und ihre Position bei Hilma's Network niedergelegt. Die Oppositionspolitikerin Jane Hume kündigte Widerstand gegen mögliche Kapitalertragssteuererhöhungen an. Die Regierung kündigte außerdem eine Neuausrichtung der Einwanderungspolitik an, mit dem Ziel, die Zahl der Zuwanderer zu senken und die Standards zu erhöhen.
Australia news live: Hume says Liberals would oppose any increase to capital gains tax; Taylor refuses to be drawn on new frontbench
New deputy leader says ‘energy abundance’ will bring prices down. Follow the latest updates live On immigration, and in a hint to the future direction of the Coalition, Hume says that immigration policy is “out of control”, and there is a mismatch between values. A reset on immigration is profoundly important. We want to see a lower number of people come to our country, but we also want to raise the standards. What that looks like, I won’t get into the details today. But I think all Australians know if you come here, coming to Australia, living in Australia is one of the greatest gifts that could ever be given to anybody. Which is why we want to make sure the people who do come here share our beliefs, share our respect for the rule of law and for democracy. If people were open-minded to the idea of lifting the moratorium on nuclear energy, which is a bill I brought forward as a backbencher so we can have a zero-emissions technology introduced into our country, as every other developed nation has either done or is in the process of doing, that would add to the energy abundance that would bring prices down. David, I’m not announcing policy 48 hours after having been elected deputy leader … before our first shadow cabinet meeting. But it is absolutely crazy to take an ideological approach towards energy because it’s energy that drives our economy. We want to see our economy flourish and thrive so that all Australians can see better days ahead. There is no doubt that caring for our environment, looking after our oceans, looking after our soil, looking after our water is profoundly important. And reducing emissions is a part of that, but it’s not the only thing that’s important to Australians. What’s important to Australians is an opportunity that they can see to get ahead. That they can see to look after themselves, to look after their families, to restore that optimism to what it is that they do every single day. Continue reading...
Australia politics live: Liberals pick Angus Taylor as new leader, deposing Sussan Ley after just nine months
Taylor wins leadership 34 to 17. Follow today’s news live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast So far we know that Jane Hume and Dan Tehan will run for the deputy, but there are other names that are being floated. One of those was Tim Wilson (who’s often made light of one day leading the party), but he ruled himself out this morning. It brings none of us any joy to challenge Sussan. She has tried her very best. She has a very long and successful political career. As I say, this very difficult times, and I really did feel for her yesterday … I’m not going to engage in disparagement of Sussan this morning, I’ve spoken before about the fact that we were not traveling well, and things have gone from bad to worse. We’re simply not competitive. I’m really hoping that under Angus leadership, we will move very quickly to show what we stand for in terms of our migration policy, housing and of course, education.
