Jacinta Allan Steps Down from Politics | Australia News

Jacinta Allan, Victoria’s former premier and a political powerhouse for over two decades, has officially stepped down from politics — no longer seeking re-election in November. Just weeks after resigning as Labor leader, she ends a storied career that began when she became the youngest woman ever elected to the Victorian parliament at just 25. Rising swiftly through ranks, she took the top job in September following Daniel Andrews’ exit — only to step aside in July after losing party support. Now, Ben Carroll, her former deputy and current premier, has honored her legacy, praising her 27 years of service — especially in Bendigo — as transformative and heartfelt. Her departure leaves a major void in Victoria’s political scene. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
