This is from Crikey :

The Victorian Liberals have put forward a cavalcade of dud leaders — they’re now up to their ninth since Kennett (himself a survivor of leadership silliness in the 1980s and early ’90s) lost to Bracks. None have been able to hold the party together, let alone offer a convincing alternative government.

The other problem has been an infestation of extremists — initially Christian fundamentalists who effortlessly signalled how badly out of touch the party was with ordinary Victorians, and in more recent years, Trump-inspired elements prone to peddling conspiracy theories about Andrews, threatening violence, abusing LGBTQIA+ people and Indigenous peoples, and attacking abortion rights.

The party has subsequently been shocked to discover that culture wars and extremism doom you to repeated, heavy election losses. Victoria has thus been a one-party state, barring a four-year aberration, for a quarter century.

You may be right. Another centre right party could rise up and fill the vacuum left by the current Liberal rabble.
