The Victorian Liberal Party’s state council meeting on Saturday includes comments from the party’s president urging factional or dissenting members to stop helping Labor. Multiple outlets report that the president did not name specific groups or individuals, but the remarks were widely understood to target support that some members have offered to Labor-related outcomes or policy positions.
While the president’s message is described as “blunt,” it is framed as a call for party unity rather than a direct dispute with Labor. The reports also indicate that far-right and rival right-leaning elements within the broader political landscape—particularly One Nation and figures associated with Pauline Hanson—were seen as part of the context, even though they were not mentioned explicitly in the remarks.
The accounts agree that the dispute occurs within the Victorian Liberal Party and is discussed at the state council, with the president seeking to reduce internal competition and prevent actions that could strengthen Labor. No additional specifics on concrete steps, votes, or formal sanctions are included in the shared summaries.
