Murray Olds: Australian correspondent on Liberal leader Sussan Ley facing a leadership challenge - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Australian opposition leader Sussan Ley is facing additional leadership challenges after Angus Taylor resigned from the party's front bench.

Reports claim Taylor's supporters have requested a special party room meeting to consider a so-called spill motion, meaning the party's leadership is up for contest.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the Liberal Party is seeing a significant drop in the polls, and Ley's popularity is on the decline.
