Leader before election John Pesutto Elected Leader TBC

A leadership spill is expected to take place on 27 December 2024 to elect the leader of the Victorian Liberal Party and, ex officio, Leader of the Opposition.

Incumbent leader John Pesutto, a moderate, will be challenged by Berwick MP Brad Battin, a conservative. The spill will occur two weeks after the Federal Court ruled Pesutto had defamed Independent Liberal MP Moira Deeming, who was expelled from the Liberal party room in 2023 after attending an anti-trans rally that had also been attended by a neo-Nazi group.
