New WA Liberal leader Libby Mettam has tied her leadership to quashing the influence of the factional group known as 'The Clan' and its powerbroker Nick Goiran, declaring it "a line in the sand" for the party.
Ms Mettam took over the Liberal leadership from David Honey in an uncontested spill today and vowed the internal dysfunction caused by The Clan, which she said had turned voters off the party, would not be a feature of her time at the helm.
