Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan is expected to face a leadership challenge as internal Labor unrest intensifies ahead of the next state election. Multiple reports describe a period of mounting pressure within the Victorian Labor Party, with senior party figures holding a crisis-style meeting to assess the situation. The Guardian reports that factional conveners from Labor’s left and right met on Sunday night to discuss whether Allan retains the support of a majority of the parliamentary caucus. It says the group agreed that Allan no longer has that majority. The reporting also includes an account of how information about the meeting circulates, with a minister saying Allan is “not going anywhere” and characterising leaks from the Sunday meeting as an attempt to build momentum for a possible spill. Other outlets frame the developments as a coordinated push within the party to replace the premier, reaching a turning point as parliament is set to resume this week. The reports do not confirm the outcome of any leadership process, but they indicate that the next parliamentary sitting is likely to be a key moment in the dispute.
