Hewson’s shock defeat at the 1993 election brought Costello into consideration as a leadership contender. Costello’s profile became higher after the “sports rorts affair” with Sport Minister Ros Kelly: after revealing Kelly did not handle funding properly for the policy, Hewson and Costello demanded she resign, and she did. Hewson was deposed as Liberal leader in May 1994, Costello supported Alexander Downer for the leadership, becoming his Deputy Leader and shadow Treasurer. What may have prevented Costello from challenging Hewson for the leadership himself was that it would have proven correct an accusation by Victorian Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett that Costello and his friend, former Victorian Liberal party president Michael Kroger, had undermined Hewson’s leadership prior to Hewson calling the leadership spill that partly occurred because of Costello in the first place.
