Four months out from the state election, Premier Jacinta Allan is facing a leadership challenge.
Factional powerbrokers met on Sunday night to discuss whether Ms Allan maintains the support of the caucus, and agreed she does not.
It is understood Ms Allan will be offered the opportunity to resign on Monday, and if she refuses, is expected to face a leadership challenge on Tuesday.

Labor eats itself.

I duno if I can agree, I think straight up it’s not looking good for her, considering how labor has done federally and in SA, to be neck and neck with one nation and the liberal party and have what appears to be the lowest approval rating in the country… it’s not a good sign

Labor have also been in power since 2014 which is generally when fatigue starts to set in for us as Aussies

I think part of it is that weird Aussie “fair go” sentiment: “these guys have been in long enough, time for the other mob to have a crack” - before doing a quick 180 shortly thereafter, as soon as we realise what an absolute shit-show a Libs/ONP state gov’t would be.

I think it is a good thing.
As Premier,She has has completed some achievements in her time that will put the state back on track, but the opposition (not “The Opposition”, but the corporate interests interested in degression) have painted her as evil and destructive to the state.
A fresh face would be good for the party, and if they are able to make some less significant, but more visible achievements, Labor will be lined up for another landslide.
They just need to take the opposition’s propaganda and complete a few token achievements; if all they do are the fix the potholes, that would probably be enough.
