Victorian Greens target Labor strongholds as election shapes up four-way race
Victorian Greens target Labor strongholds in bid to double lower house seats by November 28.
The Greens target Labor strongholds including Footscray, Pascoe Vale, and Prahran, plus vacant Brunswick following Tim Read's death. The party's platform emphasizes corporate tax increases to fund free public transport, public housing, and rent caps, positioning themselves against both major parties.
Leader Ellen Sandell cites internal polling showing the party at 15 per cent primary support, on track to double their lower and upper house seats.

Why it mattersA strong Greens showing could reshape Victoria's parliament, shifting policy leftward on housing, tax and transport. It signals how far voters have drifted from both major parties.
AustraliaIf Greens achieve the gains Sandell predicts, Victorian policy will shift on rent control, public housing and corporate taxation. Strong results may signal demand for similar policies in other Australian states.
