Former New South Wales Premier Nick Greiner cautioned the Liberal federal executive about potential repercussions from concealing a review of the 2025 election defeat. The warning was issued during a meeting on Friday of the party's top decision-making body. The review's release was delayed following concerns raised by former leader Peter Dutton regarding certain findings against him and his chief-of-staff. Greiner expressed fears that suppressing the report could lead to internal party divisions and negative media attention. Details of the report are beginning to surface despite the decision to keep it secret.
