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 part of it is that weird Aussie “fair go” sentiment: “these guys have been in long enough, time for the other mob to have a crack” - before doing a quick 180 shortly thereafter, as soon as we realise what an absolute shit-show a Libs/ONP state gov’t would be.
