Reports claim factional powerbrokers in Labor’s Left and Right wings are eyeing a leadership spill ahead of the November 28 state election, citing Allan’s low approval rating of minus 33 percent and fears of losing up to 20 seats.
Internal polling shows Labor’s primary vote at around 28-29 percent, trailing One Nation and neck-and-neck with the Coalition, amid voter fatigue from 12 years in power, record $160 billion debt, and scandals like CFMEU issues on Big Build projects.
Potential replacements Gabrielle Williams and Ben Carroll denied ambitions and voiced full support, as did other ministers, while Allan insists her team remains united and focused on families.
