Dr. Denis Napthine was officially elected today as the new leader of the Victorian Liberals.
He was unopposed for the position. His deputy will be Louise Asher. The new leadership team signals a final end to the Kennett era in Victorian politics.
Asher, recently elected to the lower house seat of Brighton, defeated Phil Honeywood, Robert Doyle and Robert Dean for the deputy’s job. Asher and Honeywood swapped votes to keep Doyle out.
Parliament meets for the first time since the election next Wednesday 3 November.
