WEAK leadership in tough times forced Ted Baillieu's resignation, and his successor, Premier Denis Napthine, faces a struggle to resurrect the unpopular Victorian government, Melbourne's major newspapers say.
The Australian says while Mr Baillieu's greatest achievement - returning the coalition to government after 11 years - should not be forgotten, he lacked decisiveness and vision once in office.
He failed to inspire the confidence of his own party members, as well as the Victorian people.
His handling of this week's taped conversation scandal sealed his fate, it says.
"After a series of policy failures, scandals and poor poll results, the task for the new premier will be to lead boldly," the editorial said.
The Herald Sun says Mr Baillieu lacked the guidance and direction his party members - and Victorians - needed from him.
His lack of communication hurt him most, and he needed a stronger voice, its editorial says.
"It was always a matter of communication, or a lack of it for which Mr Baillieu was criticised by this newspaper, as well as his political mentor in former premier Jeff Kennett," it said.
The Age says Mr Baillieu set high standards upon his election, but failed to follow through once in office.
His promises to end the "rancid culture" of politics and deliver disciplined, stable government did not eventuate, and that culture only grew in party ranks, it says.
"That it was there at all, and allowed to fester on his watch, points to a significant failure of leadership," The Age's editorial said.
The coalition's future would depend on its preparedness to crush disunity and frustration within its ranks, it said.
