Opposition Leader Issues Statement on January 28
In a significant development for the Victorian Liberal Party, David Southwick has been elected as the Deputy Leader. This decision was made during the party room meeting held today.
Thanking the Outgoing Deputy Leader
The newly appointed leader expressed gratitude to Sam Groth for his dedicated service to both the Liberal Party and the Nepean community over the past three years. The collaboration will continue as they work together in the months ahead.
New Roles Ahead of the November Election
In addition to Southwick’s appointment, Roma Britnell, the Member for South-West Coast, will step into the role of Shadow Cabinet Secretary. This follows Joe McCracken’s announcement that he will not be contesting the upcoming election. McCracken has served in this position proficiently for the past year.
Victorian Elections: A Choice for the Future
As the November elections draw near, Victorians will have a crucial choice to make. They can either continue with the current Labor Government, which some describe as old and out-of-touch, or vote for a new generation of leadership from the Liberal and Nationals team.
Key Priorities for Victorians
The Liberal Party presents its vision focused on several critical priorities, including:
- Strengthening the Economy: Aiming to reduce cost of living pressures for families.
- Enhancing Safety: Tackling the ongoing crime crisis to ensure community safety.
- Improving Health Services: Committing to a world-class health system that Victorians can rely on.
- Home Ownership Opportunities: Providing every Victorian with the chance to own their home.
The new leadership is eager and ready to implement these policies and pave the way for a fresh start for Victoria.
Conclusion
The Liberal Party is poised for an active year ahead, focusing on its comprehensive agenda for the state. Both David Southwick and Roma Britnell are expected to play crucial roles in shaping the future of Victoria as they prepare for the upcoming election.
