Ben Carroll’s dramatic rise to Victoria’s premiership kicks off with a bold move: a royal commission into construction corruption, timed to shake up Labor just four months before election day.

Meanwhile, a high-profile Melbourne man is convicted of rape, sparking renewed conversation about accountability. Globally, wildfires rage across France and Spain, forcing mass evacuations as another heatwave looms.
