A growing Indian Australian community in the marginal seat of Melton could be Labor’s “only hope” to holding power,according to one pundit.
The 90-minute forum in front of an audience of about 70 people was far from boring. A feisty exchange on infrastructure,an examination of the power of the crossbench and plenty of advice from the audience were among the standout moments.
A late entrant has made the already tight tussle for the marginal seat even more interesting.
Testy talkback callers,a fire truck emblazoned with slogans and a ‘freedom’ fighter all appeared on a live broadcast this morning in the marginal seat west of Melbourne.
Farmers and landowners in the crucial seat are throwing their weight behind a campaign against a high-voltage power line they claim would cause mental stress and poorly impact the electorate’s rural areas.
After decades of lagging infrastructure,four weeks out from the state election Melton residents are being pummelled with promises for roads,a hospital and a TAFE.
Labor has comfortably held Melton for 30 years. Why are experts predicting a shake-up at this election?
