Sussan Ley, a former opposition leader, is appointed to help steer Australia’s Snowy Hydro development, with the Labor government naming her to the board.
Multiple outlets report the appointment comes about seven months after Ley was removed from her prior leadership role within the Liberal Party. PerthNow and The West Australian both describe her as a former Liberal opposition leader who is now taking up the Snowy Hydro position following that earlier change.
The reporting focuses on the political timeline—her shift from opposition leadership to a new role under Labor—while providing limited detail on the board appointment itself. Overall, the sources agree on who is appointed, which organization she is joining, and that the appointment is made by the Labor government, though they differ mainly in how they frame the recency and context of her departure from opposition leadership.
