Brad Battin promises to unite the Liberal Party under his leadership following spill

Victorian Opposition Leader Brad Battin has denied John Pesutto’s failed lawsuit was the factor behind his decision to launch a leadership spill.

He says he holds a lot of respect for John Pesutto and it’s time for the party to move on and focus on the issues voters are dealing with,

“The party had become a bit disunited so my focus was to get the party back together, which we’ll be doing now, and then to get back on to the things that are really important to people out there,” he told Shane McInnes, filling in for Jacqui Felgate.
