Southwick set for Victorian deputy leadership

Victoria's opposition leader Jess Wilson has cleared the path for David Southwick to become deputy leader after requesting James Newbury withdraw from the race in a secret meeting. The move comes after Sam Groth announced his resignation from Parliament weeks after being re-elected to the deputy role. The Liberal Party will officially appoint the new deputy leader in February before Victorian Parliament resumes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
