Victorian premier faces leadership challenge amid corruption scandal
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan faces mounting pressure to resign as Deputy Premier Ben Carroll is positioned as a likely replacement ahead of the November state election. Crisis talks have reportedly resulted in MPs withdrawing their support for Allan, who is polling as one of the most unpopular premiers in Australian history. The leadership challenge comes amid ongoing CFMEU big build corruption scandals, with a potential leadership spill meeting scheduled within 48 hours and just 127 days before the state election.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
