Victorian premier to face leadership challenge this week (www.abc.net.au)

Four months out from the state election, Premier Jacinta Allan is facing a leadership challenge.

Factional powerbrokers met on Sunday night to discuss whether Ms Allan maintains the support of the caucus, and agreed she does not.

It is understood Ms Allan will be offered the opportunity to resign on Monday, and if she refuses, is expected to face a leadership challenge on Tuesday.

I think it is a good thing.

As Premier,She has has completed some achievements in her time that will put the state back on track, but the opposition (not “The Opposition”, but the corporate interests interested in degression) have painted her as evil and destructive to the state.

A fresh face would be good for the party, and if they are able to make some less significant, but more visible achievements, Labor will be lined up for another landslide.

They just need to take the opposition’s propaganda and complete a few token achievements; if all they do are the fix the potholes, that would probably be enough.

Well to be fair.. she did oversee and allow the largest criminal infiltration with CFMEU

And if she is made scapegoat, and they introduce someone else without any tenable links to CFMEU, with lots of charisma (she had none), who wasn’t allegedly having an affair with Lindsay Fox’s daughter, and fixes the potholes, Labor will have the next election in the bag.

The Coalition is still running backwards and ON doesn’t have any policy except to blame anyone who isn’t Anglo-CIS-male for all of society’s problems.
