Jacinta Allan Leadership Threat Looms as Ben Carroll Announces Candidacy The Victorian Labor Party is facing a leadership crisis after Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan was urged to step down by a delegation of ministers.
The move comes as Ben Carroll, a senior minister, announced he will contest the leadership in the event of a spill. A group of ministers, including Ella George and Mat Hilakari, met with Allan earlier today.
This cross factional delegation suggests that there is growing unease among MPs who are increasingly at odds with Allan's leadership style.
