@John I think there is a bit more to play out yet but it's probably a good thing. Hopefully they can start pulling back some of that One Nation polling
How does Littleproud respond when asked if he can work with Ley when he was so adamant in saying he couldn't?
I think there will be some more desertions, #LibSpill still seems inevitable as well
Hahahaha!!
Gotta love Michelle Grattan

@neenish_tart I see what you did there, well played ๐
I can't see how they think moving further right will help although it should bring back some of those who have moved to One Nation
@neenish_tart Not that Barnyard is the one to listen to, but I'd be surprised if Ley lasts the week...
Let's see if any MP has the guts to use #libspill to say 'We're tired of being dictated to by the National Party. If elected leader I will not seek to reconstitute the coalition in this electoral cycle. The Liberal Party will contest all National Party seats to give all Australians a choice to vote for a party of government.'

Staring down the barrel of three leadership changes in two weeks, are the Liberals near rock bottom?

Betteridge's Law: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." Susssan Ley has made it through recent challenges, and is safe for now, but I think she'll be ousted as Federal Opposition Leader before the next election.
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.

#Victorian Liberal leader #BradBattin will face a #leadership #challenge this morning from shadow treasurer and first term MP #JessWilson, less than a year before the state election.
#SussanLey's leadership has been under threat in recent weeks as reports have emerged that #AndrewHastie & #AngusTaylor may be potential challengers, & the Liberal Party has dropped its commitment to net zero.
Brad Battin faces spill after group of Victorian Liberal MPs say they have lost confidence in his leadership
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/nov/17/brad-battin-faces-spill-after-group-of-victorian-liberal-mps-loses-confidence-in-his-leadership
Brad Battin's job has been on shaky ground since he "won" leadership of the Liberal Party of Victoria. The party lacks a cohesive message for the voting public, and it lacks a cohesive party-room โ this is more than just a coincidence. In any case, this latest leadership squabble is immaterial because the LNP have been ineffective in Victoria for the better part of a decade.
