Looks like Jacinta Allan is gorn with either Ben Carroll or Steve Dimopoulos to become Premier.

Writing on the wall.  Labor stood no chance next election with Jacinta in charge.  As much a vote against her as for someone else.

I disagree, I think she would have been re-elected. No logic, just my gut feel. For all the huff and puff about labour and the problems in this state, voters wont drop them and change. I dont think Wilson has made up anywhere near the grounds she needed.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Maybe Labor are taking notice of the trucks with slogans driving round...

Yes tend to agree, I think the media hype over One Nation is vastly over-stated, pretty much everybody I ask states they won't vote for Hansen to the degree I can't work out who the media are polling! I'm not sure the coalition can gather enough support to be a genuine threat.

Hansen won't drain the swamp, she's a pile of steaming "nemure" as Dougy would say!

It's not lost on me that a lot of Hansen support comes from the dole queue, and if she gets in with her billionaire friend support the unemployed benefits might well be the first thing she cuts because it's a favourite whipping target for her ageing support base.

Yes, I agree that Jess Wilson hasn't made great inroads and the Liberal Party shenanigans haven't helped.  However, Jacinta Allan can't get any traction at all.  Every time she tries to announce a good news story, the questions go back to the Big Build and allegations of corruption.  Changing leaders may create some clear air for Labor, but it might give Wilson a boost too.

Its the same thing at Federal level, the buffoons running the joint would get re-elected in a canter if there was an election tomorrow.

If you want to stir the pot then stew on this.

The current state of all parties seems so poor I suspect if he was so motivated that Andrew could do A Little Johnny and rise again.

There is going to be some interesting side-effects with many regional voters apparently flocking to One Nation, or to Nationals deserters, whatever it may be. Many of the voters live regional to escape what Hanson represents which is ironic, but if One Nation gets any traction I fully expect Gina and Clive will be digging up their backyard in a blink.

Jacinta Allan was going to fight for her job but saw the writing on the wall and opted for a smooth transition to Ben Carroll.  That's when Sonya Kilkenny threw her hat into the ring and managed to create some chaos.

Carroll is the Premier but it seems that there's blood on the floor of the party room.  This is a stark contrast to the smooth transition of leadership that has characterised Victorian Labor for decades and must give Jess Wilson some cause for optimism.

Jacinta Allan becomes one of the few Victorian Premiers who never lost an election ... or won one  ::)
