“It’s ugly. It’s messy”: Inside the plot to bring down the Victorian premier
After a chaotic 24 hours of backroom plotting and mounting pressure, the Victorian premier resigned.
Jacinta Allan’s replacement, and former deputy leader Ben Carroll, now has just four months to turn Labor’s fortunes around in what’s shaping up to be the most unpredictable election the state has ever seen.
Polls show an unprecedented three-party contest – with voters split, almost equally between the unpopular Labor government, an Opposition ridden by scandal and a rising One Nation.
Today, ABC Melbourne Mornings host Raf Epstein reveals what Labor’s change of leader means for an already chaotic election race and whether Australia’s most progressive state could turn orange.
