Jeff Says No

Jeff Kennett has decided against a return to State politics in order to pave the way for Ted Baillieu, who has announced his intention to run for the Victorian Liberal leadership. Baillieu, heir to the Baillieu-Myer fortune (as in Coles Myer), is said to be Victoria's richest politician. Fellow MLA Terry Mulder is also expected to announce a leadership tilt, but with the support of Jeff, Baillieu is likely to be the one to make it across the line.

Well, that was a funny old 24 hours, wasn't it?
