## Resource

Victorian Labor is in turmoil as Premier Jacinta Allan faces mounting pressure to step down ahead of a crucial election in four months. Nine MPs and ministers have urged her to resign, with Deputy Ben Carroll already launching his leadership bid. Allan, however, has signaled she’s ready to fight, triggering a potential month-long leadership contest that could drag the party into chaos. If a spill motion passes and Allan contests, an interim leader will be chosen while members vote for four weeks — a risky gamble with elections looming. Supporters argue she still has backing, but critics say she’s lost caucus support, and even a contested race might force her to concede for the party’s sake.
