Why the Liberals could shift to MAGA
In a shock move, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has defected from the Nationals, to sit in the Liberal party room. Speculation is whirring she will run as Deputy Liberal leader, on a ticket with Angus Taylor — it comes as Sussan Ley confirms she'll throw her hat in the leadership ring, while Dan Tehan rules himself out. And even in victory, Labor is experiencing power struggles of its own — with two key frontbenchers, Mark Dreyfus and Ed Husic, spectacularly booted from Cabinet. Patricia Karvelas and Jacob Greber break it all down on Politics Now.
