Tensions are boiling in Victorian Labor as factional heavyweights reportedly conspired to oust Premier Jacinta Allan — just as the state election looms. While no challenger has officially stepped forward, Deputy Premier Ben Carroll is seen as the frontrunner but refuses to ignite the revolt. Allan remains defiant, backed by her inner circle, but whispers suggest she may lack the numbers to survive a formal vote under new rules requiring both MPs and party members to decide. Some factions are even rumored to be quietly pushing for a behind-the-scenes exit. Amid the chaos, new policy leaks — including a crackdown on organized crime and council rate reforms — hint at a last-ditch effort to rally support. But critics say the drama is a distraction, and Allan’s grip on power may be tighter than it looks.
