Summary
Ben Carroll’s dramatic rise to Victoria’s premiership kicks off with a bold move: a royal commission into construction corruption, timed to shake up Labor just four months before election day. He’s positioning himself as a fresh face, not Daniel Andrews or Jacinta Allan, while appointing Gabrielle Williams as deputy leader — a surprise twist after Allan’s last-minute withdrawal. Meanwhile, a high-profile Melbourne man is convicted of rape, sparking renewed conversation about accountability. Globally, wildfires rage across France and Spain, forcing mass evacuations as another heatwave looms. And in a quirky twist, a 21-year-old law student once swapped textbooks for bike bells — delivering legal docs across town, one awkward drop-off at a time.
