Victorian Labor’s once-celebrated leadership is now under fire, with Premier Ben Carroll distancing himself from the Daniel Andrews era—marked by big spending and dismissive tactics. Prime Minister Albanese faces a critical test as his own government echoes those same patterns: ignoring business and economists, sidelining critics, and prioritizing loyalty over policy. While Victoria’s debt isn’t catastrophically bad, its culture of silencing dissent and rewarding allies is a warning sign. With a royal commission looming over corrupt “Big Build” projects, Albanese has a chance to lead with integrity—or risk repeating Victoria’s mistakes by letting federal funds flow unchecked.
