7am · “It’s ugly. It’s messy”: Inside the plot to bring down the Victorian premier · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

Just want you to think about the number one policy, the number one thing the plotters want, and the number one thing Ben Carroll will announce is a Royal Commission into corruption in the construction industry.

These issues, to be frank, have lingered since the 1980s.

If Labor now sets up a Royal Commission, and they've got a few months, I guess, to get it going, does that genuinely change people's perceptions of what happened over the last few years?

I've had tons of people ring in and say, look, lifelong Labor voter,

Not going to change my vote, but oh my God, why haven't they called a Royal Commission?

The media's been debating the merits of a Royal Commission for years.

For the very first time on Monday, while Jacinta Allen was still Premier, they actually had an argument.

They actually had a fight.

Do we need a Royal Commission in the construction industry?

I do think it's a significant issue.

I don't know if it's a vote-changing issue.

You might be pissed off with Labor about that, but if you're still on the left, you might then vote Green or Independent.

Of course, if you're a coalition voter, it's a huge issue, but you're already on the coalition side.

We've got a first-term MP in Jess Wilson leading the coalition.

Then to make it even harder, I don't know who One Nation's leader is in Victoria.

We don't know who it is.

I think there's one, maybe two candidates.

They say they're going to have candidates in all 88 seats.

It just makes it impossible to predict what's going to happen.
