Opposition Leader's Meeting with Israeli President
Opposition leader Sussan Ley is scheduled to meet Israeli President Isaac Herzog in parliament. She will be joined by colleagues Michaelia Cash, Jonno Duniam, Tim Wilson, and Julian Leeser for the meeting.
Journalists have gathered in a corridor within Parliament House, near the offices of Ley and Shadow Minister for Defence Angus Taylor. Taylor was observed in his office with Queensland MP Phil Thompson.
There is speculation that Taylor and Thompson may approach Ley after her meeting with President Herzog to request a spill of the leadership.
Leadership Challenge Rumours Emerge
If this move proceeds, it would involve their resignation from their defence portfolios. Thompson has since departed Taylor's office.
