Collins criticized the approach of using quotas to improve female representation, asserting it undermines the effort to beat Labor in upcoming elections. She believes that the Coalition needs a better strategy to elevate women's presence without relying on enforced quotas.

Proponents of quotas, including NSW senator Maria Kovacic, say sunset provisions to remove preferential treatment for women must be included in any rule change.

The statement by the five female Liberal MPs condemned the decision for gender quotas, claiming it demeaned women's capabilities and perpetuated their minority status in politics.

Simona Mohamsson, in her inaugural speech as leader, emphasized a ‘tough love’ approach to immigration and integration, signaling potential shifts in party policies.

Elections Canada required additional time to count the significant number of ballots, influenced by an increase in mail-in and advance polling, which made predictions challenging.

Since the 2022 federal election, the Liberal party has failed to reconnect with female voters, risking further alienation while elevating the hard-right faction.
