Jess Wilson has made history by becoming the first female leader of the Victorian Liberal Party. Her leadership marks a significant moment as she sets her sights on addressing key issues affecting the state.
Wilson has outlined her primary objectives, which include restoring the state budget, tackling what she describes as a “crime crisis,” enhancing healthcare services, and promoting home ownership. These priorities will take center stage as she gears up for the November 2026 election.
Acknowledging her past contributions, Wilson expressed a deep sense of pride in her ongoing commitment to the community and the impact of her work to date.
In her leadership team, Wilson has highlighted the importance of having dedicated individuals like Battin, whom she praised as a “tireless” worker for the party. She emphasized that Battin’s role will be crucial in realizing the party’s vision and goals.
“The Victorian Liberal Party now has a very clear path to go towards the next election.”
The Victorian branch of the Liberal Party has never had a female leader before.
