 | Whispers are rife of a palace coup against Matthew 'tough on crime' Guy. Several meetings of Coalition MPs have taken place since Matthew Guy’s “lobster with a mobster” scandal broke, canvassing the potential of replacing Guy. |  |
 | The leadership challenge rumours come as Mr Guy is embroiled in a donations scandal, with Fairfax Media reports alleging a $10,000 donation bought a property developer a private penthouse meeting with then-Planning Minister Mr Guy in 2013. Earlier this month it was also revealed Guy was taken out to dinner in Greece by a major Geelong developer, while on a partially taxpayer-funded trip in July. |  |
