Another #Victorian #Liberal MP to quit.
The problems facing the party’s new leader, #JessWilson, have deepened after another MP, #WendyLovell, announced that she would be stepping down as well.
Lovell had planned to stand down but had reportedly been asked by Wilson to delay her announcement. However, she went ahead with her statement on Monday. #VicPol #auspol
Victorian Liberal Party deputy leader Sam Groth will exit politics at next election
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-05/sam-groth-victorian-liberal-party-deputy-leader-exit-politics/106199004
It's curious that Sam Groth is quitting Parliament (some media are saying quitting politics entirely), when only 18 months ago, he expressed a desire to be Premier of Victoria.
Sam Groth had several obstacles standing in his way:
- Sam Groth has played second-fiddle as Deputy under Brad Battin, and now Jess Wilson. He lasted approximately six weeks as Jess Wilson's Deputy Leader, which suggests he's not cut-out to be Deputy, or that he lacks loyalty to the leader. His entitlement made him blind to that.
- Sam Groth could never could become Leader of the Victorian Liberal Party without support of the party. His resignation letter was filled with bitterness toward the party. His entitlement made him blind to that.
- The LNP have little hope of beating the ALP in the next state election, which is tipped to be late November this year. His entitlement made him blind to that.
- The media keep digging-up dirt on Sam Groth. They've published articles suggesting he's done travel-rorts, and might have a drinking-problem. But, by far the most disturbing thing Sam Groth has done was while he was a tennis Coach for his now-wife -- they began a relationship when he was 23 or 24 and she was only 17 years old.

Victorian Liberals Oust Brad Battin, Elect Jess Wilson as First Female Leader http://dlvr.it/TPKN56 #AustraliaPolitics #BreakingNews #JessWilson #Melbourne
Battin in election-winning position amid leadership challenge http://dlvr.it/TPKN4t #AustraliaPolitics #BreakingNews #BradBatinMP #JessWilson
Jess Wilson has successfully knifed Brad Battin to seize the position of Leader of the Opposition, this driving a knife deeper into the rotting corps of the Liberal Party of Victoria.
Jess Wilson, nepo-baby of former Victorian Liberal MP Ron Wilson, will represent the Neo-Conservative faction of the Liberal Party. To promote broad public appeal and prop-up her party-room numbers Jess Wilson is yet to rule-out appeasing the anti-environment faction of the Liberal Party, the Rupert Murdoch faction of the Liberal Party, the anti-immigrant faction of the Liberal Party, the TERF faction of the Liberal Party and their anti-LGBTQIA runningmates, or the Neo-Nazi faction of the Liberal Party.
Jess Wilson is currently the preferred candidate of The Institute of Public Affairs for the position of Premier of Victoria. An unnamed spokesman for the IPA said the thinktank is optimistic she'll survive until November next year to lead the party to a crushing defeat in the 2026 Victorian State Election.
