A controversial Liberal Party review of its historic election defeat in 2025, which warns a leader must never again be allowed to run their own campaign as Peter Dutton did, may not be made public amid concerns from some party executives it could further damage the Liberals’ standing with voters.
Authored by former Liberal MPs Nick Minchin and Pru Goward, the review’s findings are deeply critical of the former opposition leader and his staff, lashing his campaign for lacking a “burning platform” that appeals to voters and opposing Labor’s personal income tax cuts.
