Episode Details

Victoria’s November election is heating up into a razor-thin race, with Labor under pressure as new premier Ben Carroll vows a “new direction” amid high-stakes uncertainty. One Nation, surging in polls, could hold the balance of power for the first time in Australian history — forcing Labor to warn voters that any vote but theirs risks a Liberal-One Nation coalition. Even PM Albanese is chiming in, while One Nation’s rep counters that Labor’s alarm signals their own vulnerability. Polls show the coalition leading, followed by Labor and then One Nation — all hovering in the 20s-30s — with former Premier Daniel Andrews sounding the alarm on potential cuts. Analysts say One Nation’s rise makes them a pivotal player, possibly forcing the coalition into a weaker position if they need their support. With leadership changes and more One Nation candidates expected, the race is far from over — and anything could still happen.
