Victorian Liberal leader Michael O’Brien joins a growing list of embattled opposition leaders, with a spill motion challenging his leadership to be moved on Tuesday morning.

The motion is being sponsored by former policeman and spokesman for roads, youth justice and crime prevention Brad Battin, but it is uncertain if he has enough support among the 31 Liberal MPs to get enough votes to then challenge Mr O’Brien.
