Victoria n Opposition Leader John Pesutto has been handed a lifeline with a new poll showing the Coalition ahead of Labor for the first time since 2017, despite MPs openly plotting to replace him amid a defamation battle.
The poll of 1516 Victorians was conducted between September 26 and October 3 – a period covering the second half of an explosive defamation battle between Mr Pesutto and exiled Liberal MP Moira Deeming. However disaffected MPs have been unable to coalesce around a single challenger, with the Hawthorn MP appearing unphased by the threat to his leadership.
“When voters see an opposition that is in a never-ending cycle of political self-harm, they quickly work out that they aren’t ready for government, no matter how bad the incumbents are.” “There is obviously now growing evidence that the Victorian people are responding positively to the messages and the proposals that my colleagues and I are promoting.”
