Angus Taylor has resigned from Sussan Ley's front bench, triggering a potential Liberal Party leadership spill that could occur within days. The delay is caused by the need for Liberal MPs and senators to return to Canberra, with taxpayers covering approximately $50,000 in travel and accommodation costs for the 51 Liberal politicians and their staff. Additionally, a dispute has emerged over the Brisbane 2032 Olympic rowing venue, with Queensland's Deputy Premier insisting it will be held in Rockhampton or not at all, despite concerns about the Fitzroy River meeting requirements and contractual obligations to the IOC.
