Episode Details

Victoria’s political race is heating up as Labor struggles to secure a fourth term, trailing the coalition by just two points and facing stiff competition from One Nation. New Premier Ben Carroll lags behind Opposition Leader Jess Wilson in voter preference, while public sentiment leans pessimistic—more expect things to worsen than improve. Key policies like the Suburban Rail Loop East and Labor’s free dental plan are under fire, with voters skeptical of their value. The Greens hold steady at 12%, while independents surge to 8% thanks to grassroots efforts like Climate 200’s push for community-backed candidates. With the coalition needing just 16 more seat flips to win, this election promises drama, shifting allegiances, and a hunger for change across the state.
