Program: What Sussan Ley's leadership means for the Liberals

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Sussan Ley has made history, as the first woman to lead the Liberal party in its 80-year history. 

Ley fended off Angus Taylor, in an "agonisingly close" leadership contest, but with the significant task of rebuilding the Liberal party and brand, has she been set up to fail? 

And Ted O'Brien comfortably claimed the role of Deputy leader, beating out Phil Thompson — but why did Jacinta Nampijinpa Price pull out of the contest?

Patricia Karvelas and David Lipson  break it all down on Politics Now.
