A senior member of Matthew Guy's shadow cabinet has told former premier and Liberal elder Ted Baillieu to 'be quiet' over the bullying and sexism rows racking the party.

Victorian Liberals education spokesman Tim Smith attacked Mr Baillieu on Friday morning, accusing the former premier of 'bagging the party'.

Mr Baillieu, the only Liberal leader to have won a Victorian state election in the past 20 years, earned the ire of the first-term MP for Kew for his recent comments on the party's treatment of women.

"I wish Ted would be quiet because I don't think him bagging the Liberal Party helped the Liberal Party," Mr Smith told ABC Radio.
