Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has suffered another staffing setback less than four months out from the state election, with the resignation of his director of communications.
The Liberal Party said Lee Anderson resigned as media manager due to “personal reasons”.
Mr Anderson’s resignation on Wednesday has come just two days after the appointment of Mr Guy’s new chief of staff, Nick McGowan.
Some Liberal MPs raised concerns about the appointment of Mr McGowan, who has also been preselected as a Liberal Party candidate for the upper house.
This means he will have to stand down from the chief of staff position during the election period due to Victorian Electoral Commission rules.
Mr Anderson’s exit means Mr Guy will have lost two of his most senior staff members just months out from the November election.
Mr Anderson will be replaced by Alex Woff, a current member of the Liberal party’s communications team.
Anja Wolff will take on the role as deputy director of communications.
Last week, Mitch Catlin quit his role as the Opposition Leader’s chief of staff, after reportedly asking a Liberal Party donor to make payments totaling more than $100,000 to his private marketing business.
