Liberals to hold crisis meeting with Prime Minister

Victorian MPs will hold a crisis meeting with the Prime Minister and Treasurer in Canberra on Monday as senior Liberals warn the government faces a ‘hammering’ in the state at the next election. The state Liberals’ disastrous loss in the Victorian election on Saturday has put the government on shaky ground, with The Australian reporting up to seven federal seats could be in danger. Opposition Leader Matthew Guy is expected to resign, while state President Michael Kroger is resisting calls to step down, insisting he will do so following the federal election.
