Former Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has publicly endorsed Ben Carroll as the new Labor leader, expressing confidence in his ability to win the upcoming state election in November. Andrews also acknowledged Jacinta Allan, who resigned shortly before Carroll's ascension, highlighting their long history of collaboration within the party.
Watch for Ben Carroll's approach to the royal commission into the construction sector, which could reshape Labor's image. His commitment to the Suburban Rail Loop and the stalled airport train line will be crucial in defining his leadership and electoral strategy.
