The federal Liberal Party is poised for a major shake-up in South Australia as Senator Alex Antic faces mounting pressure to step aside, with fears he could seize control of the state branch and block Opposition Leader Angus Taylor from running again. High-profile members like Alexander Downer and Nicole Flint are being targeted by Antic’s faction, sparking accusations of rule-breaking and undermining party unity. Critics warn Antic’s push toward closer ties with One Nation—and his hardline stances on vaccines and abortion—could destabilize the Liberals. With legal hurdles high, the federal executive may opt for a less drastic move, but this crisis tests Taylor’s leadership and exposes deep fractures within the state party.
