She has gone.

Jacinta Allan served as the 49th Premier of Victoria and leader of the Victorian Labor Party from 2023 to 2026.

 

Her tenure ended on 28 July 2026 when she resigned ahead of a leadership challenge from her deputy, Ben Carroll.

Rejoice rejoice. Step 1 of saving our state. Most corrupt government in our history.

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic??????

Not sure if rearranging would help at this stage. They need to start bolting them down for the storm that's going to hit in four months time.

Her successor has come out throwing punches, announcing a royal commission into corruption in the construction industry.

 

Of course, if he was serious about integrity, with three weeks left of parliament, he could push through legislation to bring transparency to IBAC, in a similar way as the NSW ICAC.

 

It is likely a new Lib government will call a royal commission anyway.

 

But he also has announced a pro business an tougher on crime agenda. Surprisingly similar to Crusafilli (hope I spelt that right).

Tougher on Crime is always a good clarion call to the electorate, but like all calls be the clarion, it's mostly hot air in the implementation.

He said he won't be a Dan Andrews or a Jacinta Allan ... Crikey, great endorsement for his own party. That won't go down well with far-left Albanese & Co
