Victorian Labor’s ‘unforgivable’ preferences decision risks Liberal-One Nation government, Greens warn

The Victorian Greens have criticized Labor for its "frankly unforgivable" decision not to support progressives in a crucial inner-city seat, warning that this could result in a Liberal-One Nation government. Ellen Sandell, the Greens' leader, highlighted Labor's choice to run an open ticket in Prahran, an inner Melbourne seat currently held by the Liberals' Rachel Westaway with a slim 1.3% margin. Sandell expressed concern that this strategic move could significantly impact the outcome of the upcoming election.
