The opposition leader says she'll have more to say about following the meeting on net zero next Wednesday.

"This process it has been important because it has meant that when we meet together, we will have the information in front of us and the views of every single member of my team to make the determination. That is so important," she says.

Ley not focused on 'good senator' Sarah Henderson's comments
J
By Joshua Boscaini
Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has been asked if her days are numbered following Sarah Henderson's comments this morning.
The opposition leader says she won't comment on commentary and she's not focused on comments people relay to her.
She says she values every single member of her team, including the "good senator" Sarah Henderson.
"I'm not focused on comments that other people relay to me, or that might be made in a variety of contexts. The only thing I care about is working hard for the Australian people," Ley says.
Sussan Ley says working group will present findings on energy policy review next week

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has stepped up to speak in Canberra after Liberal senator Sarah Henderson declared the leader was losing support in the Liberal party.
She's started her press conference attacking the prime minister and government for cost of living and electricity prices.
Ley says she became leader six months ago and promised to set a serious, credible policy agenda, fiscal discipline and lowering migration.
The opposition leader says the working group she set up to examine the party's energy policy will present its findings next week.
"Next week, the Liberal party room will assemble. The working group that I set up six months ago has completed its work and it's ready to present to our Liberal party. And I know that there will be a really important discussion in the room at that time," Ley says.

Dan Tehan refuses to say whether Liberal party is united behind Sussan Ley
J
By Joshua Boscaini
Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan has evaded questions about whether the Liberal party is united behind Opposition Leader Sussan Ley.
Speaking to reporters outside the Hyatt Hotel in Canberra, Tehan was repeatedly asked whether the Liberal party was united behind the opposition leader.
But the shadow minister refused to say whether the party was behind the Liberal leader.
"Sussan Ley was six months ago elected to lead the Liberal party. She set up a policy process to make sure that when we went to the next election we had policies that would work for the Australian people," Tehan says.
Asked if Liberal senator Sarah Henderson was wrong when she said that members of the party were moving away from Ley, Tehan sidestepped the question and said he was focused on policy.
"Colleagues have been saying a variety of things over last few months, what I'm focused on making sure we get policy right, the energy and emissions reduction policy right, because that is what the Australian people want us to do," he says.

Liberal frontbencher Julian Leeser has thrown his support behind Opposition Leader Sussan Ley's leadership.
The Liberal MP says the opposition leader is focused on growing the economy and increasing the productivity of Australia.
Asked if he agrees with Sarah Henderson that the party is in a "dire" situation, Leeser says the party is going through a "difficult period" trying to arrive at a energy policy.
"We're trying to come to a landing spot on the on energy policy. We're going to do that this week," Leeser told the media outside the Hyatt Hotel in Canberra.
"When you've lost two elections on the trot, you're looking at why you've lost those elections and you're looking at a new policy direction, and we're going to do that in orderly fashion in the next one," he says.
He says people within the party have different views about what direction the party should go after the May election loss.

Nationals will give Liberals room to 'reconcile' on net zero policy: Bridget McKenzie
J
By Joshua Boscaini
(ABC News: Luke Stephenson)
Nationals Senate leader Bridget McKenzie told reporters this morning her party would give its Coalition partner the space to discuss the future of net zero.
McKenzie says the Liberal party should be free to have discussions about net zero internally to reconcile where it stands.
"I've been around long enough to know that the worst thing for the Liberal party is to have the National party commentating on what they should choose to do," McKenzie says.
"They need to be free to have those discussions internally to reconcile within their own party where they stand and then we can have a conversation about the Coalition more broadly in these meetings that are gonna be taking place next week," she says.
The Nationals senate leader says her party has made it clear it doesn't support net zero by 2050.
She says that, while both Liberals and Nationals need each other to be successful, the Nationals won't be "trading our sovereignty" and turning its back on regional communities to "appease" the Liberals.

Shadow energy minister thanks Liberals for being 'forthright' in sharing views
J
By Joshua Boscaini
(ABC News: Matt Roberts)
Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan has popped up on Sky News where he's been asked if Opposition Leader Sussan Ley is losing support in the Liberal party.
The shadow minister has sidestepped the question but says the opposition leader has been encouraging policy development that appeals to Australians.
Tehan says he's hopeful that the Liberals will land an energy and emissions reduction policy within the next couple of weeks.
Asked about Sarah Henderson's comments on how the Liberal party is tracking, Tehan says he "absolutely" backs in how the party is going.
Tehan says he thanks colleagues for being "forthright" and expressing their views.
"I want to thank all my colleagues because everyone's been prepared to sit down to express their views," Tehan says.
"Obviously, we had a very constructive meeting Friday week ago, where colleagues put their view and the take out of that meeting was there is so much that unites us on this front."
So are the Liberals going to drop net zero? Tehan won't say but instead says he is focused on consultation ahead of next week's meeting.
He says he hopes the Coalition will land an energy and emissions reduction policy by Sunday next week.
Dan Tehan confident Liberals can land deal with Nationals on energy policy

Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan spoke to Brisbane's 4BC about his review of energy policy ahead of next week's Liberal party meeting and before Sarah Henderson's comments on Sky News.
Tehan has been leading a comprehensive review of the Liberal party's energy policy that was due to take between six to nine months.
The shadow minister says Australians want to see energy affordability, energy abundance and emissions reduction.
He's confident the Liberals will land a position on emissions policy, and confident that they'll come to an agreement with the Nationals.
"Most of my colleagues are very keen to make sure that we can land something. And I'm also very positive from the discussions I've had with the National Party that will be able to land something with them," Tehan says.

Analysis: Liberals unsure what's behind Henderson's comments on Sussan Ley
D
By David Speers
Was Sarah Henderson deliberately trying to stoke the leadership flames this morning and turn next week's meeting of Liberal MPs into something more than just a discussion on net zero?
Her colleagues are genuinely unsure.
At the end of what's arguably been the Liberal party's worst week since their worst election result six months ago, things are volatile and uncertain.
Some Liberals put Senator Henderson's provocative comments this morning down to her well-known and ongoing anger at being dumped from the frontbench by Sussan Ley, which may put her own Senate preselection ahead of the next election in doubt.
The Victorian is certainly more willing than others to publicly blame the leader for the party's current woes.
But she's hardly alone in despairing about where the party finds itself.
There's no overwhelming appetite to bring on a leadership spill next week.
Most MPs just want to give Ley a chance to bring this net-zero saga to an end.
But there remains deep division over where the party should land, and uncertainty over Ley's longevity as leader.
Realistically, Ley won't be able to unite all Liberals behind one climate position. Instead, this is about finding a compromise most can live with.

Sarah Henderson 'out on her own' on comments about Sussan Ley, Liberal says
C
By Clare Armstrong
Senior Liberals are pouring cold water over the prospect of an imminent threat to Sussan Ley's position after a backbench senator unleashed on the opposition leader.
Multiple Liberal sources have dismissed speculation comments by Victorian Senator Sarah Henderson describing the current state of the party as the "worst I've ever seen" are paving the way for a challenge to Ley.
One Liberal said Henderson was "out on her own" and there was "no coordination" of any destabilisation efforts against Ley at the moment.
Another said members of the party room were currently more upset about the timing of a meeting next week to settle the Liberals' position on net zero emissions.
MPs had pushed for a gathering to take place on Sunday so they could avoid cancelling events during the week, but ultimately leadership decided the meeting would take place on Wednesday.
Liberals have also publicly backed Ley's position on Friday morning, including her likely rival in any future challenge Angus Taylor, who said she would "be with us through to the next election".
How is Australia trying to break deadlock with Türkiye on COP bid?
J
By Joshua Boscaini
Chris Bowen has been asked if he thinks the prime minister needs to pick up the phone to Türkiye's president.
The energy minister says the PM, himself and Foreign Minister Penny Wong have all been speaking with their Turkish counterparts.
"I've been talking to my counterpart. Penny Wong has been talking to her counterpart. And Anthony Albanese has been in correspondence with his counterpart, President Erdogan. That's a good government doing its job trying to resolve this," he says.
Asked if President Erdogan is ignoring Albanese, Bowen says he wouldn't put it that way.
Chris Bowen gives update on Australia's COP bid
J
By Joshua Boscaini
Energy Minister Chris Bowen has been asked whether he's been asked if Australia will be contributing to the Tropical Forests Forever Facility.
The fund aims to raise money and invest in bonds to reward countries for tropical conservation.
Bowen says Australia is asked to sign up to many initiatives at each COP and that he'll make further statements about it soon.
Asked if he's worried that if Australia doesn't contribute to it, it will hurt Australia's chances of hosting COP, Bowen says it won't.
The energy minister has also given an update on where Australia is at with its COP bid. Bowen says the situation remains the same.
"The support for Australia's bid is overwhelming, overwhelming around the world and in our group, which is the key decision making body," Bowen says.
"But the court rules, stipulate that to get cop hosting rights, you have to get the agreement of the other bidder, which isTürkiye.
"Whether Turkiye agrees with us or not, and we're in ongoing conversations, decisions have no bearing on what President Erdogan thinks about whether the COP should be held in Adelaide."
Bowen says opposition is looking for excuses to avoid climate policy
J
By Joshua Boscaini
Energy Minister Chris Bowen has been asked about claims from the opposition that Sydney manufacturers are importing thousands of cars to stockpile on carbon credits under Labor's new vehicle efficiency scheme.
The energy minister says the opposition doesn't believe in climate action and will use any excuse to avoid climate policy.
"Next week they're going to debate whether they believe in climate change again," Bowen says.
He says the chief executive of BYD has made clear the reason the company is importing cars to Australia is because of demand.
Education minister opens new study hub in Western Sydney
J
By Joshua Boscaini
Education Minister Jason Clare and Energy Minister Chris Bowen have stepped up in Western Sydney to announce a new university study hub in Fairfield
The hubs allow students to attend a university campus setting closer to their homes without travelling into the city to complete their studies.
The education minister, who grew up in Western Sydney, says one of the biggest barriers to people from accessing higher education in the area is the distance to a university campus.
"When we were kids growing up here, there were lots of Maccas logos, lots of KFC logos, lots of Westfields logos, there weren't a lot of university logos, telling people in our young area telling them that university is for them," Clare says.
"If we're serious about making sure that more young people get a crack at going to university, not just in Mossman or in Bondi but in Fairfield and in Liverpool and in Blacktown and Mt Druitt and Bankstown, we need places like this," he says.

Shadow ministry meets with business groups amid fallout of Henderson comments
E
By Evelyn Manfield
Down here at Canberra's Hyatt Hotel, not far from Parliament House, Liberal leader Sussan Ley and her shadow ministry are meeting with business groups.
We're told they are in back-to-back meetings with various stakeholders, as part of the planned event.
We didn't see Ley arrive, but caught Ted O'Brien, Angus Taylor, Angie Bell, Dave Sharma and Claire Chandler on their way in.
None of them were keen to stop for long, but some attempted to hose down the idea that Ley was losing support in the party room, as Senator Sarah Henderson said earlier.
We're hoping to catch Ley on her way out of the event to ask her about Henderson's comments.
As the party seeks to settle a position on net zero, MPs will reconvene in Canberra on Wednesday.
