Simon Welsh from Redbridge Group and John Ratcliff from Accent Research, both election analysts, shared insights with SBS News on Monday afternoon regarding key seats to keep an eye on.

Teals in trouble

However, things are looking a bit tighter in Victoria’s teal-held seats.

“It doesn’t have that typical teal mix of progressive urban, older middle class and younger people coming in,” he said.

Greens’ vote shifting

Ratcliff said the primary vote for the Greens went backwards in Melbourne, Macnamara, Griffith, Ryan, and Brisbane.

The party hasn’t secured any additional seats so far. However, Labor’s Peter Khalil is experiencing a challenging race against ex-Victorian Greens leader Samantha Ratnam in the Melbourne seat of Wills, which remains unresolved as of the latest update.

Bucking the Labor wave

“In fact, my gut feel is that it will be going to the Nationals.”
