A rare reprieve from leadership chatter among Labor and the Liberals has turned the spotlight to other players among the Victorian Parliament.
The departure of Daniel Andrews and a rare reprieve from leadership speculation granted to John Pesutto has done little to quell broader leadership chatter on Spring Street.
Those with a seat inside that Toyota, as well as a large chunk of the broader membership base, suspect either respected Brunswick MP Dr Tim Read or deputy leader Ellen Sandell, the first Greens MP elected to the lower house of the Victorian Parliament, will be the party’s choice. Unlike the Greens, ideology is playing no part in the Victorian National Party’s succession planning.
This isn’t the first time rumours of Walsh’s retirement have swept Spring Street. Ahead of the 2022 election, Nationals MPs speculated the long-standing leader might hand over to his deputy, Steph Ryan – who had been widely seen as the next party leader – before polling day. Instead, she quit and he stayed on.
