No surprise to see that the Herald Sun and the Australian will be backing Brad Battin's Coalition team in the 2026 Victorian election. But it will be interesting to see who the Age and the Guardian Australia will go for.

What ae the chances of someone within the Liberal Party leaking info and damaging Brad Battin's hopes of being Victorian Premier between now and election day 2026?
Out of the 3 Victorian election losses that the Liberals suffered at the hands of former Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, which one would hurt the most-2014, 2018 or 2022?

The first step for Brad Battin to do is simple: reunify the Liberals. Then try to get a good working relationship with their 'country relatives' (ie the Nationals).

By order of one Vincent Kennedy McMahon. There is the possibility of a rematch. Whoever loses will be told in no uncertain terms, 'YOU'RE FIRED!!'

So, it's Pesutto v Battin v Wilson v Crowther for the Liberal Party leadership ballot.
Good luck trying to sort that lot out.

The reason why Peter Dutton would want to intervene in the affair of the Victorian Liberals is because he knows just how important Victoria is to regaining government in the next federal election.

My tip as to how Friday's Liberal leadership vote will pan out:
-John Pesutto loses the leadership to Brad Battin;
-Moira Deeming to be reinstated to the Liberal Party and be promoted to shadow Attorney General.

The only way John Pesutto can survive as Liberal leader on Friday is that if Peter Dutton intervenes to resolve the issue by ordering the rebel Liberal MPs to get behind Pesutto or suffer the consequences of watching weak Labor governments both in Victoria and at federal levels retain power...
It's not just Jacinta Allen who is happy about the mess that is going on within the Liberal Party in Victoria, PM Anthony Albanese must think his Christmas has come 3 days earlier. But at least the Liberals has only Allen to deal with, because what would've happened if Daniel Andrews was still...
If you think the Victorian Liberals are sick and tired of the infighting that is going on within the party over Moira Deeming and John Pesutto's leadership, spare a thought for the Nationals-the junior partner of the Coalition. The Nationals are the only ones to take up the fight to Jacinta...
What are the chances of the federal Liberals taking control of its Victorian counterparts and tell them to get its act in order before the next federal election?
Should the Victorian Liberals go outside the parliamentary side of the party and pick someone like Josh Frydenberg or Peter Costello to lead the Liberals. BTW, just how furious Peter Dutton is going to be with his Victorian counterparts right now? Just when the federal Liberals have PM Anthony...
The problem is that the Liberals don't have any leadership options to really take the fight up to Premier Jacinta Allen and present a credible alternative when Victoria goes to the polls in 2026. What Daniel Andrews has done with his 3 straight elections wins is rip the heart out of the...
Reckon the Liberal party room meeting tomorrow could go like this:
-John Pesutto gets to keep his job for now, as no one is willing to challenge Pesutto at this stage, especially with the Coalition ahead in the opinion polls;
-Moira Deeming is welcomed back to the fold.

Seeing the Herald Sun is against John Pesutto, does this bring back memories of 2018, where the Herald Sun's NSW counterpart, the Daily Telegraph, was at war against former PM Malcolm Turnbull, and was supporting Peter Dutton's bid for the leadership?
If John Pesutto hangs on to the Liberal leadership by a narrow margin on Friday, he'll be a dead man walking. The problem for the Liberals is, apart from Pesutto, who else is there to take up the fight to Labor in time for the 2026 Victorian state election?
Get the popcorn out on Friday, because there’s going to be a very interesting meeting of the Victorian Liberals, with two subjects to deal with-the return of Moira Deeming; oh, and the small matter of John Pesutto’s leadership.
The fact that Sam Groth decided to announce his resignation from the Opposition frontbench via the media instead of informing his leader John Pesutto and his colleagues first speak volumes about just how divided the Victorian Liberals are right now. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen has her...
Just when Peter Dutton thought he had Anthony Albanese by the throat, the damning findings against Victorian Opposition Leader John Pesutto comes up. No wonder the federal Liberals are furious at their Victorian counterparts-and why the Nationals in Victoria want to break up the Victorian Coalition.
Wouldn't be surprised if a leadership challenge against John Pesutto was held in the New Year.
I reckon the candidates will come from the following:
LIKELY
-Sam Groth
-Brad Battin
-Josh Frydenberg
LONGSHOTS:
-Matthew Guy
-Peta Credlin
-Jeff Kennett
-Peter Costello
I get the impression that this summer's Border-Gavaskar Trophy series is a warm up for the Ashes series against England here next year. Based on our performance so far in this Test so far, how would Australia go against England next summer?
Regarding the 2025 representative game, it will be against the Adelaide Football League (before that, it used to be called the South Australian Amateur & Metropolitan Football League) to celebrate 100 years of interstate amateur football between Victoria & SA, with the game held at Sportscover...
Can't understand why the VAFA wants to continue with playing no footy on Easter weekend while every other competition throughout Victoria has some games played on Good Friday & Easter Saturday.
In the book Football Ltd by Garry Linnell, late in 1987 Channel 9 offered to buy the then VFL TV rights. But typical of the network at the time, they wanted the best- finals, the Grand Final, h & a matches in prime time, the State of Origin. Unfortunately for Nine, they were knocked back by the...
Not the first time a bowler had a disagreement with his captain over field placings during an ODI match. Dennis Lillee and Kim Hughes were at loggerheads during the first final of the 1982/83 B&H World Series Cup against New Zealand at the SCG.
