In a shock move, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has defected from the Nationals, to sit in the Liberal party room. Speculation is whirring she will run as Deputy Liberal leader, on a ticket with Angus Taylor — it comes as Sussan Ley confirms she'll throw her hat in the leadership ring, while Dan Tehan rules himself out.
