Brad Battin, the newly elected leader of the Victorian Liberal Party, has described his new role as both “very pleasing and humbling” while acknowledging the “big task” of uniting his party and delivering for all Victorians.

Battin ousted John Pesutto in a party room meeting on Dec. 27 morning, and pledged to focus on pressing issues such as cost-of-living pressures, public safety, and infrastructure development.
