Mark Parton Leads Canberra Liberals Toward Unity
UPDATE, 3:40 PM: Mark Parton, newly elected leader of the Canberra Liberals, alongside his deputy Deborah Morris, pledged to unify the party ahead of the 2028 election.
“I’m absolutely sick to death of having conversations about internal party matters because I can tell you that people out in the suburbs are not having those conversations.”
Parton emphasized their goal to align the nine parliamentary members “on the same train heading forward” to challenge the government in 2028.
Addressing Party Divisions
He acknowledged recent divisions in the party but noted that former leaders Leanne Castley and Jeremy Hanson helped create an opportunity for unity by resigning.
“I think in recent months my party’s been divided by a line that separates people who hang on to shit and people who leave shit behind, and it is time to leave shit behind.”
Leadership Potential and Media Presence
Mark Parton, known as the party’s strongest media performer, has long been viewed as a leadership contender but had previously lacked sufficient support or chose not to pursue the role.
