Vic The joke that is the Victorian Liberal Party.

Too much speaking, too little action though.

Australia has no interest in even facing the domestic violence problem let alone fixing it.

Australian men are more likely to be moved by Alex Antic's parliamentary speech about barber shops than they are about marches for domestic violence.

And they are certainly more likely to lose their s**t over a kid with male genitals wanting to play netball with the girls than they are over a woman who was probably wearing a short skirt getting murdered.

We are miles off - and everything from the Liberals is political theatre.

It is only 15 days since they finally gave up on Bruce Lehrmann.

All oppositions can do is talk until governments invite them to work together. The state opposition is about to introduce a bill relating to sexual offences that turns into action a recommendation from the Royal Commission into Child Abuse yet to be enacted. The long term Government needs to be held to account here.

The bill was defeated in the Legislative Assembly as leave was not granted to debate the bill.

Bipartisanship! (but not like that)

What do the Victorian Liberals (as well as the Nationals) need to do if they are to have any chance of regaining government from Labor in 2026?

Leadership, organisation, focus on priority not fringe issues, organised not random attacks on the ALPs.many failures and lack of integrity. A well led moderate liberal party would be far ahead of the ALP.

Stop fighting culture wars

Perhaps not so much for the Victorian branch but certainly true Federally the culture wars are much easier and, perhaps more profitably waged from government than opposition and I'm not sure whether that's dawned on everyone yet.

All 3 emergency services are in industrial action with no end in sight, yet the Vic Libs still can't land a significant blow against the Vic Government.

This is some bread and butter stuff for oppositions to have targeted repeat campaigns on yet there's nothing. Granted it's harder for the LNP to have these campaigns considering the history with the UFU and formerly AEAV now VAU.

 

[Saint]

Culture wars is what attracts branch members now. And when they have branch meetings and pre-selections out in the burbs, that's what carries the day.

Then they're utterly shocked when the whole electorate wonders WTF they're talking about.

They need to change internally before they can change externally. And it hasn't begun, so I guess we'll just have to hope for more independents and people from the left start holding the ALP to account.

 

[Jascave]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again-the Victorian Liberals really should've done a major cleanout of the parliamentary wing of the party after losing the 2014 state election. The Victorian Liberals are really like a football club that has lost 3 consecutive grand finals, and seems quite happy not to learn how to win a premiership/state election.

But that’s all they’ve got

They can't really focus on the economy because with nothing left to sell off they'd be left with cutting services/infrastructure which would be political suicide.

Unfortunately they are a poorly led pack of happy clappers doing everything they can to eliminate all the moderates.
