Do they want Labor to get another term in government? Because this is how they do that. Yes, Pesutto has problems. Yes, the Moira Deeming fiasco is just giving them bad press. But it’ll just cause them even more chaos and confusion if they find a replacement, and the last thing they need is a leader who is out of touch with the electorate and thinks it’s more to the right than what it is.
Any party after three elections will face a more difficult time getting back into power due to party fatigue (regardless of any other circumstances), but one of the single best (short-term) ways to get into office is to be less worse than your opponents.

Go for it, kick out half the party and let them become independents and hand the state to a better party

Ah the Victorian liberals. They truely are a masterclass in political insanity. It’s a dam shame that we don’t have an effective opposition party to hold Labor to account in Victoria because this kind of one party thing we’ve got going is bad for the state
