Liberal Party Faces Pressure, Key Figures Quit
Update: 2026-01-05
Description
Pressure mounts on Victorias Liberal party as two senior figures, Sam Groth and Wendy Lovell, announce their retirement ahead of the state election. Groth, a first-term MP, cites family pressure, while Lovell, a veteran, steps away after 24 years. Liberal leader Jess Wilson maintains focus on Victorians needs, but Deputy Premier Ben Carroll argues internal divisions persist. Pollster Tony Barry downplays Groths exit, but the Liberals face a tough race, needing to flip 16 seats for a majority. Unity and performance over the next 11 months could secure a Liberal win.
