During a Twitter rant, former President Donald Trump slammed his former Attorney General Bill Barr for saying that the indictment against him meant “he’s toast.”

“Turn off FoxNews when that “Gutless Pig” is on!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social Platform.

Bill Barr: "It's a very detailed indictment, and it is very, very damning. This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here, a victim of a witch hunt is ridiculous…He's not a victim here. He was totally wrong." pic.twitter.com/xRwYChWZ5Q

Fox News Sunday featured Barr discussing Trump’s indictment for keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. He said he was “shocked by the degree of sensitivity of these documents and how many there were.”

He went on: “I think the counts under the Espionage Act that he willfully retained those documents are solid counts. But I do think that even half of what Andy McCarthy said, which is if even half of it is true, then he’s toast. I mean, it’s a pretty, it’s a very detailed indictment, and it’s very, very damning.”

Trump’s returned first with: “Virtually everyone is saying that the Indictment is about Election Interference & should not have been brought, except Bill Barr, a “disgruntled former employee” & lazy Attorney General who was weak & totally ineffective.

Sussan Ley’s leadership faces challenge as Liberal MPs debate net zero emissions policy amid divisions between moderates and conservatives

In Short:
– Sussan Ley’s leadership is questioned as the Liberal party debates net-zero emissions amidst internal divisions.
– Moderate MPs warn losing elections if net-zero is abandoned, highlighting urban voter support for a 2050 target.

Sussan Ley’s leadership faces scrutiny as the Liberal party debates a net-zero emissions target.

Conservative members argue she should abandon the goal to maintain her position, while moderates hope for a compromise that aligns with the Paris Agreement.

Leadership contenders like Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie support staying committed to the Paris Agreement, rejecting a net-zero commitment. Taylor indicated future leadership aspirations are not confirmed.

Pro-net-zero frontbencher Tim Wilson seeks decisive leadership to address the issue. Ley’s lack of internal guidance frustrates moderates, creating uncertainty regarding her stance on net-zero. While some conservatives advocate for its dismissal, others display mixed support.

Liberal party dynamics shift as polling reveals significant opposition to net-zero among constituents. The upcoming party room meeting and shadow ministers gathering will aim to finalise the Coalition’s position.

Internal Divisions

Moderate MPs warn that elections will be lost if net-zero is abandoned, emphasising its importance in urban areas.

A poll indicates strong support for a 2050 net-zero target among voters. Critics of the Nationals’ policy argue it is misguided and incompatible with national interests.

Calls for resignation from frontbench positions are met with opposition. Some representatives voiced frustration over the timing of the meeting, suggesting it should have been resolved earlier.
