The mother of newly appointed opposition leader Sussan Ley has died only days after watching her daughter make history.
Ley’s mother, Angela Braybrooks, died early on Saturday morning after going into end-of-life care in the NSW border town of Albury.
Four days earlier, following its crushing defeat at the 3 May election.

She rose to be the first woman to lead the federal opposition and to head her party at a national level, following the former leader Peter Dutton’s loss of his seat.

Treasured moment

Ley said she and her family felt the loss of her mother deeply, describing the former mental health nurse as someone who helped many people during her life.
“She taught me the values of resilience, self-reliance and persistence,” she said in a statement.

“Raised in wartime Britain, Angela could never have envisioned that her daughter would become Australia’s first female leader of the opposition, yet thanks to her, that moment occurred this week.”

Ley added that her mother was an “extraordinary person” and that it was a gift to spend one final Mother’s Day with her mum on Sunday.
With additional reporting by the Australian Associated Press.
