Liberals will go no where without a leader of substance

Victorian Labor will be as happy with Pesutto as they were with Guy. Liberals are determined to keep Labor in power, a win win.

Are you kidding me? He LOST that seat in 2018? And today, when he's not even sure of winning it back, he is already claiming he's 'the next Premier for sure!'. Arrogant is the first word that springs to mind. The voters are just there as his ticket to aggrandisement.
