This morning, Jacinta Allan stepped aside as Premier of Victoria, and Ben Carroll was sworn-in promptly.
Ben Carroll becoming Premier is a regressive step for Victoria. He's a Shoppie who used to work with Stephen Conroy.
I'm tipping Victorians can expect Ben Carroll to offer:
- Talk about caring for the working-class, while actually suppressing wages and rights of workers, especially young and low income people.
- Centrist concessions to RWNJs.
- Erosion of the rights and protections for minorities such as LGBTQIA+ people.
- Pandering to conservative religious dogma on issues such as women's health, contraception, and abortion.
- Ignorant meddling with Tech, such as censorship, NBN/broadband, and whatever is happening with AI.
- Bizarre legislative carve-outs and gifts to big business.
- Further entrenchment of the gambling industry.
