STATE MATTERS. WEEK TWO.

Less than 90 days till voting. 89 to be exact. 64 days to caretaker.

Latest poll still: L/NP 27, ALP 25, ONP 23, GRN 12 (Resolve, 9–15 Aug).

Conversations this week:
Transport: The big one. Labor moved to cut $2bn from the Suburban Rail Loop, before an Auditor-General report revealed a previously undisclosed 1% levy on public transport fares. Carroll scrapped the levy the next day.
Roads: Labor pledged an extra $352m to double pothole repairs to 500,000. Roads are already a live issue: 64% of respondents to RACV’s regional roads survey named potholes and poor road condition as their biggest safety concern.
Energy: One Nation took its campaign against VNI West and renewable energy projects to Marnoo, drawing around 1,000 people as it pushed coal and gas.

Closest contests (% margin): Bass (0.2%), Northcote (0.2%), Pakenham (0.4%), Mornington (0.7%), Benambra (0.9%).

Other seats worth watching:
Northcote. Labor holds just 0.2% against the Greens, making it one of the closest contests in the state.
Pakenham. Labor holds 0.4%. One Nation state leader Warren Pickering is running here, with Pauline Hanson campaigning in the seat this weekend.
Ripon. Labor holds 3.0%. One Nation now has its candidate (Donna Buxton), while VNI West keeps the regional seat firmly in the campaign.

Victoria decides on 28 November.

DON'T UNDERSTAND VICTORIA'S "SECRET TAX"? LET’S DEEP DIVE ✍️:

The "secret tax" has an official name: the Rail Improvement Charge.
It adds 1% to public transport fares each year, on top of the usual inflation-linked rise. It began on 1 January 2025 and applies across metropolitan and regional Victoria.

First, the idea behind it:
Big projects like the Suburban Rail Loop are partly funded by "value capture," where the government recovers some of the economic uplift a project creates through taxes and charges. The Rail Improvement Charge was designed to be one of those revenue streams.

What the audit confirmed:
The Victorian Auditor-General found the charge is projected to raise about $8 billion in net present value terms by 2062. The government planned to direct 60% of that, about $4.8 billion, to the Suburban Rail Loop East, making it the project's single largest value-capture source.
The charge starts tiny and compounds. It raised about $6.2 million in its first 14 months, well below forecast, then grows steeply over decades because the 1% repeats every year on top of inflation.

So why is it called "secret"?
The Auditor-General found the government did not identify the charge in its public announcements about the 2025 or 2026 fare increases. The December value-capture announcement left it out while naming other income sources, and passengers were never shown it as a separate line. Its existence became public only when the audit was released in August 2026.

The modelling shows the cost over time. Without the charge, a full daily Zone 1 and 2 fare is projected to be about $1.60 cheaper by 2035 and about $12.10 cheaper by 2062. The 2062 figures are in future dollars and include decades of inflation.

What is disputed:
The charge was approved in August 2021, when Ben Carroll was public transport minister. Carroll, now Premier, says he was not involved in creating it and has declined to say when he first learned of it. He has conceded the process lacked transparency.

Treasurer Colin Brooks disputes the audit's framing. He says the charge does not fund the Suburban Rail Loop directly, was not part of its value-capture system, and that he first learned of it from the Auditor-General. The audit records the opposite plan: 60% of the revenue directed to SRL East.

Since the audit:
🔴 Premier Carroll says he intends to abolish the charge and has acknowledged the lack of transparency. Cabinet approval is still required.
🔵 Opposition Leader Jess Wilson calls it a breach of public trust and wants answers on who approved it and who knew.
🟢 Greens leader Ellen Sandell says it shows why trust in the major parties is falling.
The open questions are now political as well as financial:
🟠One Nation's Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell says the rail loop's spending ignores the regions, arguing the money could have delivered more nurses, doctors and hospital beds in centres like Bendigo, Shepparton and Echuca.

JUST ANNOUNCED: ONE NATION NAMES ITS CANDIDATE FOR BENDIGO EAST

Last state election, Bendigo East was safe Labor. Now it seems to be becoming one of Victoria’s most unpredictable races.

Bendigo East is a mixed urban-rural seat of around 53,000 voters, covering the eastern suburbs of the regional city of Bendigo plus the farming towns around it. Labor's strength has always come from the city suburbs. The challenge comes from the rural fringe and a cost-of-living mood in the outer suburbs, turning voters away from the once safe seat.

Labor won by around 11 points in 2022. Former premier Jacinta Allan has retired after 27 years, and two challengers are already moving in.

🟠 One Nation has selected cattle farmer Cheryl Hawken.

🟢 The Nationals are running publican Andrew Lethlean as the L-NP coalition candidate. He contested the federal seat of Bendigo in 2025, securing a 9.8-point two-party-preferred swing against Labor and narrowly missing out on the seat.

🔴Labor has not yet officially selected a replacement candidate.

That sets up a potential three-cornered contest.

One Nation's statewide polling may give it momentum. The Nationals bring an established regional organisation and a candidate with a local following. Labor keeps the seat's historical advantage and loses the personal vote of a 27-year incumbent.

The result may turn on preferences. Once the third-placed candidate drops out, where those votes flow could decide the seat.

Bendigo East is now an early test of whether One Nation's polling converts into a lower-house seat, or whether the Nationals capture the regional swing.

A DIFFICULT ROAD AHEAD? 🕳️

Road maintenance might sound like a small issue, but it affects safety, travel times and the cost of everyday driving.

Earlier this month, dozens of cars were forced off the road after hitting large potholes that opened up along the Princes Freeway at Bunyip in Victoria’s east.

Victoria has more than 200,000 km of roads, and both major parties are now putting road repairs firmly into the election debate.

🔴 Labor: Ben Carroll has announced an extra $352 million for road maintenance, with a target of fixing 500,000 potholes by the end of January.

Labor also plans to trial supervised minimum-security prisoners doing basic roadside work such as mowing, weed control and rubbish collection, freeing skilled crews to focus on road repairs.

🔵L-NP Coalition: Jess Wilson’s Liberal-Nationals have promised $5 billion over four years to repair and rebuild roads, including a target of fixing one million potholes if elected.

🟠One Nation: the party has proposed a real-time pothole portal, allowing Victorians to report damaged roads and track the response. Unlike Labor and the Coalition, it has not yet attached a comparable statewide funding figure to that proposal.

🟢 Greens: the Victorian Greens have focused less on a headline pothole target and more on how road maintenance is delivered. They have criticised Labor’s move to privatise more road-maintenance work, arguing that preventative maintenance should remain a capability of the government and warning that reduced competition could mean taxpayers paying more for fewer repairs.

In RACV’s 2024 regional roads survey, 64% of respondents nominated potholes and poor road conditions as their biggest road-safety concern.

Potholes may seem local, but they are becoming part of a bigger election question:

Which side can voters trust to deliver Victoria’s basic services?

WHAT ARE THE MOST PRESSING ISSUES THIS ELECTION?🚋

It may still be too early to say what will ultimately decide November,but the latest issue polling gives us an indication of what voters are listening out for.

In a recent Freshwater Strategy poll of 1,020 Victorian voters, the leading concerns were:
💰 Cost of living: 57%
🚔 Crime and social order: 52%
🏠 Housing affordability: 30%
🏥 Healthcare: 24%
💳 Government spending: 22%

The agenda has shifted since 2022 in some ways:

At the last Victorian election, health and cost of living dominated much of the campaign, with the health system still emerging from the pressures of COVID.
Cost of living has clearly not gone away.

But heading into 2026, crime and housing have moved much closer to the centre of the political debate, while government spending and debt are also receiving greater attention.

This fox is following closely to see what the politicians say about these issues 🦊.

LABOR vs THE GREENS: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

At a broad ideological level, both sit on the left of Australian politics, but they come from different political traditions.

🔴 Labor is a social-democratic party with deep links to the labour movement. Its national constitution still describes Labor as a “democratic socialist party”, while modern Labor governments generally operate within a market economy and use public spending, regulation and redistribution to pursue social goals.

🟢 The Greens are built around four core principles: ecological sustainability, grassroots democracy, social justice and peace and non-violence. Their charter explicitly talks about reducing inequalities of wealth and power and transforming political, social and economic structures that produce inequality or environmental harm.

In Victoria, that difference shows up clearly in policy.

🏠 Housing: Labor has focused heavily on increasing supply and planning reform, including a target of 800,000 new homes over a decade. The Greens also want more housing, but place greater emphasis on public housing and rent controls, including a two-year rent freeze followed by permanent caps.

⚡ Energy: Victoria’s Labor government has legislated renewable-energy targets of 65% by 2030 and 95% by 2035. The Victorian Greens want 100% renewable energy and an end to coal-fired power by 2030, with a larger role for publicly owned energy infrastructure.

The difference is usually in how much intervention they favour, how quickly they want change, and how large a role they want the public sector to play.

SO, WHAT DO @CliveFPalmer AND THE @UnitedAusParty STAND FOR?

Clive Palmer has already served in federal Parliament, winning the Queensland seat of Fairfax in 2013 by 53 votes.

Today, the United Australia Party’s published platform includes:
•⁠ ⁠abolishing Net Zero
•⁠ ⁠reducing immigration while infrastructure catches up
•⁠ ⁠taxing exported Australian gas while exempting gas used for domestic power generation
•⁠ ⁠using Australia’s natural resources and regional investment to support jobs and economic growth

Palmer describes the UAP’s approach as a “New Deal for Australia”, focused on lowering costs and increasing Australia’s economic capacity.

There are indications the United Australia Party intends to contest the next federal election. The UAP was federally registered in March 2026, and Clive Palmer has said he plans to contest the Queensland seat of Fadden.

The party also has a current federal voice in Victorian Senator @senatorbabet.

LIBERAL-NATIONALS vs ONE NATION: what’s the difference?

They can overlap on issues, but they are built around different political traditions.

🔵🟢 Liberal-Nationals
The Liberal-National Coalition is Victoria’s established centre-right alternative to Labor.

The Liberals are a broad centre-right party, combining economic liberalism, private enterprise and lower-tax instincts with more conservative positions on some social and law-and-order issues.

The Nationals are primarily a rural and regional party, focused on agriculture, country communities, regional infrastructure and ensuring regional Victoria has influence inside government.

Together, their purpose is straightforward: win enough seats to form a government and govern as a Coalition.

🟠 One Nation
One Nation is generally classified by political scientists as a populist right-wing party.

Its politics is more explicitly anti-establishment. It argues that the major parties and political institutions have become disconnected from ordinary voters.

In Victoria, its platform places particularly strong emphasis on energy, cost of living, law and order, reducing taxes and regulation, and opposition to parts of the state’s renewable-energy agenda.

The simplest distinction
Liberal-Nationals: a broad centre-right Coalition designed to govern.
One Nation: a populist challenger designed to disrupt the established party system and pressure it from the right.
That means they can agree on individual policies without appealing to exactly the same voters - or offering the same kind of politics.

This distinction is particularly important in Victoria, where the two are increasingly competing for support across both regional and outer-suburban communities.

WHAT DOES THE WA BY-ELECTION MEAN FOR VICTORIA?

One Nation has won Secret Harbour from Labor, the result should ‘send a jolt’ through Victorian Labor, according to ABC.

At the last election, Labor won this seat comfortably. This time the results showed a different story:
🟠 One Nation +30.6 points
🔴 Labor -22.1 points
🔵 Liberal -7.7 points

One Nation’s primary vote jumped to 39.1%, up from about 8.5% last election.

ABC’s count analysis says One Nation appears to have pulled votes from both major parties but far more from Labor.

Secret Harbour is a young, outer-suburban mortgage-belt seat where working families have been dealing with rapid growth and pressure on local services and infrastructure.

Morwell is arguably the clearest One Nation target right now in Victoria, with ABC reporting it as “ground zero” for the party’s support.

Pakenham is also particularly interesting. Labor holds it by just 0.4%, and Victorian One Nation leader Warren Pickering is contesting the seat.

By-elections are different, and one result in WA cannot predict November. Whether this support transfers to Victoria is yet to be decided.

WHERE THE VICTORIAN CAMPAIGN IS HEADING THIS WEEKEND 👀

With three months to polling day, here are some of the campaign events happening across Victoria this weekend.

🟠 One Nation
Today: Pauline Hanson heads to Marnoo, where One Nation has said it plans to unveil Victorian policies on energy, farming and cost of living.

Marnoo puts the campaign directly into the debate around VNI West, a major issue in parts of regional Victoria.

All weekend: One Nation candidates Greg Hansford and Ben Lucas are at the Gippsland Caravan & Camping Roadshow at Lardner Park.

Tomorrow: Hanson heads to Pakenham for a community BBQ. Pakenham is one of Victoria’s most marginal seats and is being contested by One Nation state leader Warren Pickering.

🟢 Greens
The Greens have a busy field campaign across Melbourne, with door-knocking and community campaigning today in seats including Prahran, Footscray, Pascoe Vale and Kensington, alongside Werribee candidate Tushar Kumar’s community event in Manor Lakes.

More Greens campaigning continues tomorrow, including in Prahran, Footscray, Brunswick and Pascoe Vale.

🔴 Labor and 🔵 L-NP Coalition
No public weekend schedule for Premier Ben Carroll or Opposition Leader Jess Wilson had been advertised as of Friday afternoon. Leader campaign stops are often announced closer to the event.

Then on Monday, Hanson, Pickering and Hansford continue One Nation’s run with an Eastern Victoria fundraiser in Sale.

WORK FROM HOME IN VICTORIA? A BILL THAT MAY AFFECT YOU HAS JUST HIT A ROADBLOCK 🚧.

PARLIAMENTARY DEVELOPMENT: Labor’s proposed legal right to work from home has already passed the Lower House, but the bill has now stalled in the Upper House after the government pulled it from this week’s debate schedule.

🔴 Labor: wants eligible workers to have a legal right to work from home two days a week where reasonable, but has delayed the planned start until July 2027 and pulled the bill from this week’s Upper House debate.

🔵 L-NP Coalition: supports the right to work from home and has said it will not oppose the bill, but wants amendments to reduce the burden on employers and ease its introduction.

🟢 Greens: support the right, but want Labor to restore the original September 2026 start date.
With only two parliamentary sitting weeks left before the November election, it is now uncertain whether the bill will become law before polling day.

ANOTHER LABOR MP HAS PULLED THE PIN 📌.

Yesterday, another long-serving Labor MP in Bendigo called time.

🔴 Bendigo West: Speaker Maree Edwards announced on yesterday 27 that she will not recontest in November, after almost 16 years in Parliament.

That comes exactly two weeks after:

🔴 Bendigo East: former Premier Jacinta Allan announced on 14 August that she will also leave Parliament at the election, after 27 years as the local MP.

Allan had stepped down as Premier on 28 July, with Ben Carroll taking over the Labor leadership.

So in the space of a month, Bendigo has gone from having two of Labor’s most established regional MPs to two open contests.

Neither seat was marginal in 2022:
📍 Bendigo East: Labor margin 10.9%
📍 Bendigo West: Labor margin 14.4%

In 2022, Labor won Victoria 55 to 45 on two-party preferred.

However, recent polling now has the Coalition ahead:
🔵 Roy Morgan: 51 to 49
🔵 Resolve respondent preferences: 53 to 47
🔵 DemosAU: 55 to 45

HOW CLOSE IS THE VICTORIAN ELECTION?

There are 88 seats in the Lower House. 45 means majority government.

Current numbers:
🔴 Labor: 56
🔵 L-NP Coalition: 29
🟢 Greens: 3

However, the polling tells a different story:

The latest Victorian Resolve poll, conducted 9-15 August:
🔵 L-NP Coalition: 27%
🔴 Labor: 25%
🟠 One Nation: 23%
🟢 Greens: 12%

Head to head? On respondent preferences, the Coalition led Labor 53 to 47.

Other recent state polls have also put the L-NP Coalition ahead on two-party preferred. Roy Morgan had it at 51 to 49, while DemosAU had it at 55 to 45.

But statewide polling does not translate directly into seats.

🔴 Labor starts 11 seats above the majority threshold.

🔵 The Coalition needs a net 16 gains from its current 29 seats, and potentially 17 if the Greens retake Prahran.

🟠 One Nation complicates both paths. Its support is strongest in parts of outer-suburban and regional Victoria, with state leader Warren Pickering contesting ultra-marginal Pakenham.

🟢 The Greens are also contesting Labor in inner Melbourne.

So the Coalition currently leads across the recent polling, but translating that into 45 seats is another story.

If nobody gets there, Victoria could be headed for a hung parliament this November.

Victoria’s next power fight: data centres ⚡️

🔴 Labor has provided a Sustainable Data Centre Action Plan grow Victoria’s data-centre sector while planning for pressure on energy, water, land and infrastructure.

🔵 Liberals instead argue that we should prioritise growth and investment arguing Victoria should compete harder for major AI and data-centre projects.

🟢 Greens: moratorium, meaning a complete pause new large-scale data centres until stronger rules around energy, water, planning and community impacts are in place.

🟠 One Nation: no specific Victorian data-centre policy yet. Its broader energy platform prioritises reliable and cheaper power through coal, gas and nuclear, and opposes premature coal closures.

Why does it matter at a state election?
Planning, land, water and key infrastructure decisions sit substantially with Victoria, while the extra electricity demand feeds directly into the state’s wider energy debate

The Suburban Rail Loop is back at the centre of Victoria’s election debate.

A new Auditor-General report has found a 1% public transport fare levy introduced from 2025 was not separately disclosed to passengers, with 60% of the revenue intended to support SRL East. The report also found SRL East is more likely than not to exceed its publicly disclosed cost.

🔴 Labor: Treasurer Colin Brooks said the government should have been more transparent about the levy, while maintaining SRL East will be delivered on time and on budget.

🔵 Coalition: Jess Wilson criticised the levy and reiterated the Coalition’s plan to pause and review the project.

🟢 Greens: Ellen Sandell said the findings raised broader concerns about transparency and public trust.

🟠 One Nation: No new response to the audit yet. With Pauline Hanson heading to Marnoo on Saturday as One Nation unveils key Victorian policies on energy, farming and cost of living, will the SRL come up there too?

All eyes on Marloo this saturday. 👀

A tiny town in western Victoria could host one of the most important moments yet in One Nation’s state election campaign.

On 29 August, Pauline Hanson heads to Marnoo for a Farmers Fightback event, where One Nation says it plans to unveil key Victorian policies on:

→ energy
→ farming
→ cost of living

Barnaby Joyce is also expected to appear.

And the location matters. Marnoo sits in Ripon, a Labor seat held by 5.98% and cut directly by the controversial VNI West transmission route.

Pollster Kos Samaras has told the ABC One Nation support in Ripon has climbed above 40%.

One Nation has already pledged to scrap VNI West, but, remarkably, it still hasn't announced its candidate for Ripon.

Three months out from polling day, Saturday could tell us a lot more about what a One Nation campaign for Victoria actually looks like.

They've been pretty quiet so far, let's see if Saturday will change that...

One rail line. Four very different election pitches.

Victoria’s $33bn+ Suburban Rail Loop is quickly becoming a defining fault line of the November election.

🔴 Labor: build it, but cheaper.
Ben Carroll today identified around $1bn in scope cuts and ordered a technical review to find another $1bn. Current works continue, but no new contracts will be signed until the review reports.

🔵 Coalition: pause and review it.
Jess Wilson wants the contracts made public and says a Coalition government would pause the project and review what Victoria has already been committed to.

🟠 One Nation: abolish it.
Victorian leader Warren Pickering’s answer when asked about SRL last week: “Abolish it.”

🟢Greens: the concept has merit, but the project needs scrutiny.
The Greens have backed the case for better orbital public transport while questioning SRL’s costs, planning and transparency. No fresh Greens response to today’s cuts has been published that I can find yet.

The numbers matter too:
→ Current estimated investment: $33.3bn
→ Labor’s target after the review: $32.3bn
→ Contracts already signed: more than $14bn
→ Tunnelling: due to begin next month

Something to chew on:

Labor pledged 10 new public dental clinics on Saturday. $230m over three years. Every Victorian residents would be eligible, opening e public system up from it currently being largely limited to healthcare card holders. Target capacity: 100,000+ patients a year.

Why it matters: 34,000 Australians withdrew from superannuation in 2024-25 to pay for dental work (ATO). Premier Ben Carroll frames it as "structural cost-of-living support."

Currently Victoria's public dental system already operates at 52.5% capacity (Vic Parliament, May 2023). The workforce has dropped from 223.6 FTE dentists in 2018 to 181.5 in 2024 (ADA Victoria). Wait times average 14.4 months.

The Greens, whose own dental campaign preceded Labor's, argue the constraint is workforce, not chairs.
Deputy leader Sarah Mansfield says Victoria's public dental workforce is one of the lowest paid in Australia.
