What Jess Wilson and Brad Battin had to say straight after the Liberal leadership spill

The Victorian Liberal Party has a new leader, with Jess Wilson elected to the top job unopposed.

The 35-year-old is the party’s third leader in just 11 months, and also becomes the first woman to lead the party in Victoria.

Sam Groth and Evan Mulholland remain in the leadership team, but David Southwick has been replaced by upper house MP Bev McArthur.

“Victorians have a clear choice, a choice between a tired, out of touch Labor government, or a new generation Liberal team,” Ms Wilson said.

Former state opposition leader Brad Battin also spoke after the leadership spill.
