澳大利亚维多利亚州副总理本·卡罗尔确认将参选工党领导职位，直接挑战现任总理杰辛塔·艾伦1。卡罗尔在周一向艾伦通报了其参选意图1，此前工党议员团体已在同日内阁会议前会见艾伦，告知她已失去党团多数支持并敦促其下台1。这场领导权争夺发生在距维州选举仅四个月之际1。
现年51岁的卡罗尔自2012年起代表墨尔本西区尼德里区担任议员2。他曾在2023年的工党领导权竞争中通过施压成功确保副总理职位2。卡罗尔现担任教育部长，在其任期内维州在2025年纳普兰考试中的20项指标中有18项排名第一或第二2。然而，他的任期也经历了挫折，包括2024年发生的考试泄露事件，涉及65个科目的考试内容在学生参加考试前数周被意外发布2。
Ben Carroll, Victoria's Deputy Premier and Education Minister, has confirmed he will contest the Labor party leadership, mounting a challenge against incumbent Premier Jacinta Allan 1. Carroll informed Allan of his intention on Monday, the same day a Labor parliamentary caucus met with the premier to convey that she had lost majority support within the party and urged her to step down 1. The leadership contest emerges just four months before Victoria's state election 12.
Carroll, 51, who represents the Melbourne inner-western seat of Niddrie, first secured his position as Deputy Premier in 2023 by threatening to challenge the Labor leadership 2. As Education Minister, he has overseen improvements in Victoria's educational performance, with the state ranking first or second across 18 of 20 VCE metrics in 2025 2. However, his tenure has also been marked by significant setbacks, including a 2024 incident in which exam content covering 65 subjects was accidentally released to students weeks before they sat their tests 2. Carroll has characterized himself as a "marathon runner," suggesting long-term political ambitions 2.
