Wipeout looms for Victorian Labor, with Melbourne heartland in revolt
Politico reports Victoria's Labor government faces a wipeout at the 28 November 2026 election, with its north-west Melbourne heartland in revolt over crime, cost of living, and alleged corruption in the Big Build. Polls put the Coalition on 31% on track for majority government, with One Nation on 22% narrowly ahead of Labor, and Ben Carroll could struggle to hold his own seat of Niddrie.
