Ben Carroll’s government is gearing up for a major shake-up as he brings in Julie Ligeti — a seasoned political operator with deep Labor ties — as chief of staff ahead of the November election. Ligeti’s appointment is expected to solidify Carroll’s leadership, especially as he reshuffles the cabinet, likely replacing Attorney-General Sonya Kilkenny, who clashed with him during his rise. Gabrielle Williams, a key factional player, is now deputy premier and will pick cabinet roles first. With campaign mode set to kick in within three weeks, Carroll’s team is focusing on cost-of-living issues while hinting at policy shifts like a royal commission into construction — though the Suburban Rail Loop’s fate remains uncertain. The Coalition, caught off guard by the sudden leadership pivot, may struggle to pivot their attack strategy, while Labor insiders see this as a golden opportunity to win big instead of just holding on.
