One Nation gains ground in Victoria on cost-of-living anger
One Nation is polling at 20 per cent in Victoria and targeting Labor-held outer suburbs where voters cite cost, crime and delays.
In Victoria's marginal electorate of Pakenham, voters like Julie Cincotta and Shaun Martindale are backing One Nation over frustration with rising costs, crime, and endless infrastructure delays. Polling shows One Nation's best chance to win seats is in Labor-held outer suburbs and regions.
Pakenham is held by Labor's Emma Vulin with just 0.39 per cent margin. Vulin will step aside before the election.
One Nation is polling at 20 per cent primary support, down two points in the latest poll. Coalition support is at 30 per cent and Labor at 25 per cent.
The party is running candidates in every lower house seat and eight upper house regions ahead of November's election. Local business owners and café staff report consistent complaints about waste and slow progress.
