Jacinta Allan has called for Labor colleagues to unify after she lived to fight another day as Victorian premier following the collapse of a tepid leadership coup.
Victorian Labor MPs filed in on Tuesday morning for a final caucus meeting before parliament rises until late July.
It was considered the last chance for at least six weeks for representatives to roll their leader, unless a special meeting was called over the mid-winter break.
But momentum for a spill ground to a halt after Ms Allan's main internal rival, Deputy Premier Ben Carroll, ruled out a challenge on Monday.
Ms Allan, who has been heavily criticised for rising state crime rates and allegations of corruption on government project worksites, walked into Tuesday's meeting with Mr Carroll in a show of support.
