The Allan ministry is the 72nd and current ministry of the
Labor government, led by Premier Jacinta Allan and Deputy Premier Ben Carroll, was officially sworn in following the resignation of Daniel Andrews and dissolution of the Third Andrews ministry.[1]
On the 27th of September 2023, only Allan was sworn in as Premier.
The full ministry was sworn in on the 2nd of October 2023.[2] At this time, the ministry consisted of 22 ministers, fifteen of whom are women.
Background
The formation of the ministry can be traced back to the aftermath of the 2023 Victorian Labor Party leadership election, during which Jacinta Allan emerged as the uncontested leader of the party and subsequently ascended to the position of Premier of Victoria. Allan's ascent to leadership resulted from intricate negotiations between the factions within the party, namely the Labor Right and Labor Left, who had reached an impasse concerning the deputy leadership. Initially, the left faction had endorsed Treasurer of Victoria Tim Pallas as their preferred candidate, while the right faction had intended to nominate Ben Carroll for the leadership, with Anthony Carbines as his deputy.
However, these factional disagreements ultimately gave way to a consensus, leading to Ben Carroll being elected unopposed as the deputy, thereby averting the need for an extended rank-and-file election.[3][4]
