Overview
- A Newspoll conducted November 18–20 found 47% of respondents rated Jess Wilson the better premier versus 33% for Premier Jacinta Allan.
- The survey reported 68% dissatisfaction with Allan’s performance and 58% saying the Liberals are not ready to govern.
- The poll showed Coalition primary support near 40%, with Labor at 28%, the Greens at 14% and others at 22%, from a sample of just over 1,000 voters.
- Wilson named housing, crime, the budget and health as priorities, and she flagged reviewing property taxes to help first‑home buyers and younger Victorians.
- Her rise coincides with a wider shift to female Liberal leadership in NSW and federally, as Sussan Ley’s position faces internal pressure in Canberra.
