Sam Groth rejects speculation of leadership challenge to Victorian Liberals

Former Olympian and Victorian Liberal MP has addressed speculation he could take the reins of the state Liberal Party as John Pesutto. There was speculation over the weekend in major newspapers that a leadership spill could come about due to legal cases that John Pesutto is facing. One of the purported challengers was Sam Groth who cleared up rumours in a press conference today. “At some point, yes, I would like to be part of the leadership of this party,” Mr Groth said. “Is that today? Absolutely not.”
