Jacinta Allan leadership challenge; bail delayed for alleged ISIS bride; hit-and-run arrest
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan faces mounting pressure from within her own Labor Party, with reports suggesting a leadership challenge could occur within two to six weeks. Labor MPs from both left and right factions are reportedly concerned about her poor polling numbers, which show her as the most unpopular Premier in Australia with a net favourability rating of minus 40. The unrest comes amid controversies including corruption on big build sites, rising crime, state debt, and recently passed election donation laws that cap donations to parties but exempt union funding to Labor.
