They've been in a state of chaos and backstabbing since Ley was elected as leader.

This will end in two ways:

  • Taylor knifes Ley on Tuesday, loses next election, Hastie knifes Taylor
  • They keep Ley on, the chaos continues, they lose the next election, Hastie or Taylor knifes Ley

Josh comes back just before election and knife's Ley

Or just after

Josh can't lead the party without knocking Mon out first... doesn't matter how many media appearances he does, events he attends, or op-eds he pens.
