Victorian premier fights leadership challenge from deputy
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan faces a leadership challenge from Deputy Premier Ben Carroll, who claims to have the numbers to roll her. Six ministers met with Allan to inform her she has lost their confidence and support, but she refused to resign and has vowed to contest the leadership ballot. The challenge comes just four months before the state election, with a caucus meeting scheduled to determine the outcome through a weighted voting process involving both Labor MPs and rank-and-file party members.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
