Angus Taylor has resigned from the Liberal frontbench in a move expected to trigger a leadership spill.
He's expected to challenge Sussan Ley for the leadership role, following weeks of speculation about the party's future.
"I don't believe Susan Ley is in a position to be able to lead the party as it needs to be led from here. I will continue to serve the Liberal party, and to work towards getting it to where it needs to be, if it is to have the strength to make a contribution to this great nation, the kind of contribution that has conventionally traditionally made."
When SBS asked what exactly will he do differently from Sussan Ley, he says the focus will be on restoring Australia's standard of living and protecting its values.
Sussan Ley has reportedly accepted Angus Taylor's resignation, but says there was no conversation about the leadership, and is yet to call a party room meeting for the leadership to be contested.
Mr Taylor has not explicitly said he would challenge Ms Ley, but other frontbench resignations are expected to add pressure for a spill.

Victoria Police has been granted special powers under terrorism legislation ahead of a visit by Israel's president to Melbourne today.
Victoria Police deputy commissioner Bob Hill says the additional powers are a precautionary measure that will allow officers to stop and search vehicles or people in public places, and potentially detain people.
He says the powers apply to areas that Mr Herzog plans to visit and are not aimed at preventing a planned protest from going ahead.

The brother of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom, who was killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza in 2024, says he's frustrated by the lack of progress in the investigation into her death.
Mal Frankcom has told SBS many questions remain unanswered.
"There's a few missing pieces of the puzzle ... after the initial fact finding report was made it was referred to the military advocate general to to decide whether further investigation was required but since then there's been no progress on that front."
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia has allowed him to directly raise concerns with the Israeli President.
"So one of the issues that I have raised is Zomi Frankcom - and her six World Central Kitchen colleagues. These deaths were a tragedy and an outrage. We said that at the time. We've made it clear that remains the Australian government position. And we have also made clear our expectation that there be transparency about Israel's ongoing investigation into the incident."

Bangladeshis head to the polls today, 18 months since a mass uprising toppled the regime of Sheikh Hasina in the country.
It's the first parliamentary election since her deadly crackdown on youth-led protests in 2024 and the Muslim-majority nation's first competitive election since 2009.
Jobs, better infrastructure and greater political freedom are high on the agenda for Bangladesh’s Gen Z voters.
Sheikh Hasina's League party is not on the ballot after the Election Commission suspended its registration.
A clear result is seen as crucial for restoring stability in the nation of 175 million people.

And in English Premier League football,
Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has been sacked by the club following a two-to-one defeat at home against Newcastle.
This happened after just eight months of the 52-year-old replacing his predecessor, Ange Postecoglou.
There was speculation this would happen as the Danish manager was under pressure - with the team's 16th position in the Premier League, and being knocked out of both the FA and Carabao Cups.
The football club sits just five points above the relegation zone after a dreadful run of form.
