To mark what would have been the opening of the regional Commonwealth Games, the Victorian Liberal party released a social media video featuring current leader Jess Wilson and three former leaders: Brad Battin, John Pesutto, and Matthew Guy. The video shows them participating in various sporting activities like diving, weightlifting, discus throwing, and running. The cancelled Commonwealth Games, which the state government scrapped, were originally scheduled to begin on Tuesday. The video aims to showcase the party's teamwork, but it remains to be seen if this translates to effective collaboration in the upcoming state election race. The video has garnered attention on social media.
