Pressure is building inside Victoria's Labor Party for Premier Jacinta Allan to reshuffle her cabinet or even face a leadership change ahead of the November state election. Dismal polls show her as Australia's most unpopular leader, sparking secret talks among her socialist left faction. This matters because it could destabilize the government at a critical time, echoing past pre-election leadership switches that turned elections around.
