Sussan Ley’s heartache a few days after Sussan Ley became the first female leader of the Liberal Party

Opposition leader Sussan Ley announced his mother to become the first female leader of the Liberal Party.

“At one hour this morning, my mother, Angela Braybrooks, passed away in Albury,” Ley wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“My family and I feel deeply lost.

“We express our deep gratitude to the staff at Riverwood Aged Care for providing quality care to Angela. In the last moment, she felt comfortable and peaceful.

My mother is a mental health nurse who has helped so many people throughout her life. She taught me the values ​​of resilience, self-reliance and durability.

When Angela grew up in wartime Britain, she “never dreamed of her daughter becoming the first female leader of the opposition, but because of her this week it happened.”

She said a pastor urged her mother to “stay” Monday night so she could see another special moment in her daughter’s life, assured her that “we will enjoy champagne tomorrow.”

“After my free colleagues led our party’s enormous privilege, I drove down the Houme Expressway toward her bed on Tuesday,” Ley said.

Ley said her mother Angela (pictured) is a mental health nurse who “helped so many people throughout her life.” Her death a few days later after being appointed as opposition leader

“Mom is no longer verbal, but she looks at every moment of my press conference. Her eyes lit up excitedly when I returned to her room that afternoon. This is a time I will cherish forever.

Ley replaced Peter Dutton with a 29-25 vote against Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor on Tuesday.

Shadow Energy Secretary Ted O’Brien was elected deputy leader, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who was aligned with Mr. Tyler, was elected – withdrew from the competition shortly before the polls.

Ley, 63, is one of the Liberals’ most experienced hands, serving as cabinet ministers in the league’s past three prime ministers – Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison.

She has been a former commercial pilot, farmer and civil servant since her long-time former Nationwide leader and deputy prime minister Tim Fischer retired, with a seat in the Farrer seat in southwest New South Wales.

After exploring numerology, Ley changed the spelling of her name from “Susan” to “Sussan” in her 20s. She believes that adding an extra “s” would make her life “exciting” and make sure “nothing isn’t boring.”

Ley is a mother of three and supported by the party’s moderates, and some believe a woman at the helm will help win female voters.
