Ley and her so-called moderates seem to have instantly caved to pressure from their right. The Coalition are as out of touch as ever on most major issues and it feels like Dutton never left. Considering they were always going to need at least two terms to regain power, and that Ley herself was very unlikely to remain leader for that entire period, one wonders what the point of her even is.

Her job is probably to cop all the negative publicity for the LNP for the next few years, only to get dropped ~90 days from the next election and be replaced with a generic white guy with the same abhorrent views but none of the baggage.
