Victorian Labor leadership crisis unfolds ahead of election

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan faces a leadership challenge from Deputy Premier Ben Carroll, with a spill motion expected at the Labor caucus meeting. Senior ministers have called for Allan's resignation amid a 71% disapproval rating and reports she was briefed about corruption warnings related to Victoria's major infrastructure project in June 2023. If both candidates contest the leadership, Labor rules require a six-week voting process during which both the Premier and Deputy Premier must step down from their duties.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
