In May 1994 when Liberal Leader John Hewson called a leadership spill, Staley as Liberal President caused controversy when he withdrew his support for Hewson. (). The controversy was due to the expectation that the organisational wing of the party which Staley was in charge of as President did not interfere with the parliamentary party in selecting the leader.
