Australia's conservative Liberal party elect first woman leader after election loss
Australia's conservative Liberal Party elected Sussan Ley, a former outback pilot with three finance degrees, as its first woman leader on Tuesday, after an election loss partly due to comparisons with U.S. President Donald Trump's policies.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was sworn in for a second term on Tuesday after his Labor Party rode a voter backlash against global instability caused by Trump's policies to a come-from-behind victory in the May 3 national election. The Reuters Tariff Watch newsletter is your daily guide to the latest global trade and tariff news. Sign up here. The opposition conservative Liberal Party leader Peter Dutton, who had been labelled \"DOGEy Dutton\" by Labor after echoing Trump policies to cut thousands of public service jobs including diversity and inclusion roles, lost his seat.Ley said her appointment as the first female leader of the Liberal Party \"sent a signal\" to Australian women, although her agenda would be \"much more than that\", flagging the need for new policies on economic and tax reform. \"We did let women down, there is no doubt about that, and it is true that the number of women supporting us is declining and I want to rule a line under that,\" she told a press conference in Canberra, reflecting on the conservative party's loss. The Liberal Party has lost city seats in Sydney and Melbourne to women who ran as independent candidates with policies supporting climate change and gender equality in the last two elections.
