维多利亚州总理贾欣塔·艾伦在党团支持崩溃之际宣布辞职1。艾伦在1,036天任期后做出这一决定5，距离11月州选举仅四个月3。在随后的党团投票中，副总理本·卡罗尔被选举为新总理，获得全票支持，仅15名议员支持另一候选人索尼亚·基尔肯尼6。运输部长加布里埃尔·威廉姆斯当选副总理，获得45票6。
艾伦的辞职源于党内领导力危机的加剧。党团领导人向她表示已失去核心议员的多数支持13。卡罗尔此前曾公开表示"很明显总理已经失去了我们核心小组的多数支持"3。民调数据反映了艾伦的政治困境：仅24%的维多利亚州民众支持她担任总理，而43%的民众支持自由党领导人杰斯·威尔逊3。她的民调支持率从2023年末的38%下跌至24%11，好感度为负36分11。
艾伦的领导力面临多重危机。腐败丑闻成为主要因素之一，2023年6月她担任交通部长时曾被告知"大建设"项目存在"刑事和黑帮渗透"9。该腐败案据报造成维多利亚纳税人损失约150亿美元9。此外，教师因无法达成薪资协议而罢工2，英联邦运动会取消费用达5.98亿澳元3，而州债务预计将达到1,650亿美元3。艾伦在辞职声明中表示："我在这个职位上服务了1,036天。没有一天被浪费，没有一天很容易。"5
卡罗尔现任副总理兼教育部长，具有14年议会生涯经验，自2012年代表Niddrie选区当选4，2023年9月升任副总理4。在Instagram视频中，他承诺为维多利亚州在廉政、社区安全和经济方面提供新方向6。总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼塞表示艾伦可以为其成就感到骄傲，并称将与新总理合作6。
艾伦向卡罗尔表示，如果他成为新领导人将获得她的"祝贺和无保留的支持"4。然而，工党在民调中仍处于落后状态，支持率为48%对手52%4，超过70%的受调查者对艾伦表示不满4。新领导班子需在仅四个月内扭转民调劣势，为即将到来的州选举做准备。
Jacinta Allan has announced her resignation as Victorian premier after losing the backing of her Labor Party caucus 15. The decision came after party members informed her that she no longer commanded majority support within the parliamentary group 1. Allan had served in the role for 1,036 days before stepping down 5. Deputy Premier Ben Carroll emerged as her successor following a party room ballot, where he secured overwhelming support against other candidates 6. Gabrielle Williams, the transport minister, was elected as the new deputy premier 56.
The leadership transition occurs just four months before Victoria's state election scheduled for November 28 3. Allan's position had become increasingly untenable due to plummeting poll numbers—her personal support fell to 24 percent from 38 percent at the end of 2023 11—coupled with voter dissatisfaction over rising living costs, mounting state debt, infrastructure delays, and corruption allegations linked to the Big Build infrastructure program 511. The Big Build scandal, involving organized crime infiltration through the CFMEU construction union, reportedly cost Victorian taxpayers around 150 billion dollars in added expenses 9. Allan had been informed in June 2023, while serving as transport minister, of criminal and organized crime penetration affecting the 10.9 billion dollar project, though she maintained she never reviewed the briefing document 9.
In her farewell remarks, Allan stated she had stepped down after 1,036 days in the role, emphasizing "not one of them wasted, not one of them easy" 5 and expressed that she would have welcomed the electoral fight ahead 11. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese acknowledged her achievements while pledging to work with Carroll 6. Carroll promised to provide Victoria with a new direction on integrity, community safety, and the economy 6.
