The shift 15 00:01:07,855 --> 00:01:11,135 Speaker 1: follows a productive call with state leaders and the imminent 16 00:01:11,175 --> 00:01:15,255 Speaker 1: departure of Border Patrol Commander Greg Bavino, who faced intense 17 00:01:15,335 --> 00:01:20,535 Speaker 1: backlash for claiming Pretty intended to massacre officers.

As speculation of a formal challenge reaches 28 00:02:00,815 --> 00:02:06,015 Speaker 1: a frenzy ahead of Parliament's return, senior figures including Senatopaul 29 00:02:06,095 --> 00:02:10,975 Speaker 1: Scarr and Julian Lisa have declared unequivocal supportfully praising her 30 00:02:11,014 --> 00:02:15,015 Speaker 1: handling of the contentious hate speech laws that ultimately triggered 31 00:02:15,055 --> 00:02:19,695 Speaker 1: the coalition's fracture with the Nationals.

Conservative rival Angus Taylor 35 00:02:31,255 --> 00:02:34,695 Speaker 1: is also continuing to sound out colleagues as he returns 36 00:02:34,695 --> 00:02:38,175 Speaker 1: from Europe, leaving the party room deeply divided over its 37 00:02:38,215 --> 00:02:42,535 Speaker 1: strategic direction.

While Lee remains defiant, 40 00:02:50,775 --> 00:02:55,015 Speaker 1: telling reporters her leadership is absolutely not over, National Party 41 00:02:55,095 --> 00:02:58,175 Speaker 1: leader David Little Proud has warned that a reconciliation is 42 00:02:58,295 --> 00:03:03,135 Speaker 1: impossible unless his reinstated front benches are returned to the 43 00:03:03,135 --> 00:03:06,575 Speaker 1: shadow cabinet.
