The electorate covers 73 square kilometres and includes all or parts of Malvern East, Glen Iris, Camberwell, Ashburton, Ashwood, Burwood, Mount Waverley, Glen Waverley and Wheelers Hill. Undergoes major boundary changes in becoming an east-west aligned electorate. Loses areas north of Eley Road to Menzies and south of the Monash Freeway to Hotham. Moves west of Warrigal Road in gaining parts of Camberwell, Glen Iris, Malvern and Ashburton from Higgins and Kooyong. The changes reduce Chisholm's Labor margin from 6.4% to 3.2%.

Well, that wasn't the original plan. It started more like your typical meltdown, juggling life and all that. But now, as I lie on my bed, next to an ever-growing pile of laundry, I've decided it's time to focus on love For the past five years (at least), my focus has been on building a family — or more specifically, having a baby and savings into creating these two little miracles who are the absolute loves of my life Should I have tried to focus on finding a life partner and creating a family sooner I'm embarking on what feels like an ambitious journey to find love Watch: If you're starting your online dating journey Choosing to pursue motherhood on my own was far from an easy decision hitting that 35-year milestone brought a wave of pressure to find "the right" partner — but instead of letting it weigh me down That was just the first of many big decisions ahead After years of navigating life-altering choices and setbacks — not to mention a global pandemic — I finally got there And then came that unforgettable moment: the joy and disbelief of seeing two little blue lines appear on the test Quitting my job was another big decision — and strangely enough it ended up being the turning point for me to realise I wanted to find love just not the right one for where I am in life now After making the admittedly impulsive decision to leave But it didn't take long to realise I was about to repeat the same cycle unless I hit pause and took some time to really think it through and that's where the lightbulb moment hit: alongside finding the right career path I also wanted to find someone to share life with I realised that rather than rushing to find a new job unconditional love — but they're not a substitute for romantic love they'll grow up and head off to build their own lives While I do tend to crash and burn most evenings it would be lovely to have someone to crash and burn with Kate is embarking on what feels like an ambitious journey to find love Having my first baby at 40 definitely accelerated the ageing process I know there are plenty of women my age who look fabulous and youthful —unfortunately I'm going to make a concerted effort to up my game I'm going to need to if I want to catch someone's eye again Just thinking about all the upkeep makes my head hurt I'm sure all new mothers can relate to the drop in self-care standards once you've had kids — you're lucky if you even get a shower and I have two days per week of freedom (thanks to quitting my job) I have no excuse not to invest some time in myself I kind of need the job to fund the pedicure and eyebrow shaping..

Ranked as the club’s No. 19 prospect by MLB Pipeline Vivas will make his Major League debut on Friday against the Rays Boone said the 24-year-old will have a chance to appear regularly in the lineup “I expect Yorbit to play a lot,” Boone said “He’s playing really well down in Triple-A He can really play second and he can swing the bat.” Vivas has been on the Major League roster twice previously; he was up for three days last July and again in April when outfielder Trent Grisham was away on paternity leave “You feel like you’re so close to going out there and playing,” Vivas said through interpreter Marlon Abreu You keep doing your job and you hope that eventually you’ll get the opportunity.” Vivas has hit well for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a .319/.426/.436 slash line in 26 games. He was acquired from the Dodgers with left-hander Victor Gonzalez in a Dec. 11, 2023, trade for infielder Trey Sweeney “He lays the barrel on the ball and he’s got a little sock to the pull side,” Boone said of Vivas Chisholm sustained the injury on a first-inning foul ball Tuesday grimacing and reaching for his right side after fouling off the first pitch of his at-bat against Kyle Gibson which prompted a brief on-field examination Though Chisholm remained in the game and stroked a double down the right-field line saying he was “really not as concerned as everybody else.” so I know it’s not like torn or anything,” Chisholm said then “I can cough without any pain or anything like that It’s just to be cautious and not try to overdo it.” Chisholm would express surprise upon learning that he actually had sustained several small tears in his oblique as shown on an MRI taken Thursday in New York Other infielders on the Yankees’ active roster include Oswaldo Cabrera Cabrera has been the de facto third baseman for most of this season The Yankees could soon add another name to that mix with veteran DJ LeMahieu continuing his Minor League rehab assignment for Double-A Somerset at Richmond on Friday LeMahieu has played in four games entering Friday as he returns from a left calf strain and right hip discomfort the latter issue having prompted a cortisone injection earlier this week Boone said the Yankees want LeMahieu to continue stacking game action and Chisholm’s injury could change the calculus of whether LeMahieu plays mostly second base or third base upon his return “Bouncing back [between games] is the biggest thing and then hopefully he’ll be ready to help us,” Boone said The Sydney and Melbourne middle-ring seats have gained voters from abolished electorates and have significant numbers of Chinese Australians crucial: which side of the election line will Bennelong and Chisholm fall?This article is more than 1 month oldThe Sydney and Melbourne middle-ring seats have gained voters from abolished electorates and have significant numbers of Chinese Australians is hyping up his volunteers to go door-knocking in the rain “Let’s make history!” he says to an enthusiastic group of about a dozen the club is fairly quiet and the volunteers – young and old – are not dressed for the weather Laxale knows he’s up against it, battling not only the elements but fighting history to become the first Labor member to retain the seat. A redistribution has made it even harder, giving the Liberals a tiny notional advantage of 0.04% compared with Laxale’s 2022 margin of 1% under the previous boundaries The Liberals had lost it only once before 2022 the famous defeat of John Howard by Maxine McKew in Labor’s 2007 landslide There are a few similar seats that the Liberals are desperate to claw back, including Chisholm in Melbourne. It’s also highly aspirational, and the Coalition is increasingly confident. Both seats have highly educated and very diverse populations, including significant Chinese communities.

A first-of-its-kind program will encourage university students from diverse disciplines to ‘test-drive’ a career in Australia’s agriculture industry to increase skilled students entering the sector and to help meet demands for a larger University of Queensland students will be offered hands-on experience in multidisciplinary team-based industry placements after securing funding from the Australian Government’s AgConnections - Skilled Agricultural Work Liaison pilot project Led by Professor Nidhi Bansal the project will showcase that agriculture can be a career option not just for people who study agricultural science “What sets this placement program apart is how students from a variety of disciplines are grouped together before and during their industry placement,” Professor Bansal said “By making the placement course available in several degree programs it encourages students to work with peers from traditionally non-agricultural disciplines environmental science and other science streams like mathematics can offer the sector a range of skill sets.” Senator Anthony Chisholm said by targeting a broad range of careers in agriculture these work liaison programs will overcome preconceived stereotypes of who can start a career in agriculture can see a career in agriculture as something that’s only for those who live in the regions or for those whose family own land that can be used to operate an agribusiness,” Senator Chisholm said “AgConnections aims to break down these misconceptions and build on the diversity of the industry by highlighting and encouraging women and Indigenous Australians wanting to pursue a career in agriculture.” Almost $250,000 is being provided by the Department of Agriculture with UQ providing cash and in-kind contributions to support the project Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry said the University would partner with industry to co-design placements that focus on key areas of sustainability “UQ is ranked number one in Australia for agriculture and we have a proven track record of delivering student-industry engagement programs,” Professor Terry said “The AgriSkills Accelerator is another example of building capacity for industry, alongside the success of our Food and Beverage Accelerator established under the government’s Trailblazer Universities Program to boost growth and innovation in the sector through industry university and government partnerships.” A mentoring team of academics and PhD students will guide students through placements ensuring academic and professional support +61 7 3365 1111 Ph. 3365 3333 Watch 6m Liberals have the seat of Chisholm in their sights KATIE ALLEN,, LIBERAL CANDIDATE FOR CHISHOLM:  Hello, my name’s Katie Allen. CARINA GARLAND, LABOR MP FOR CHISHOLM:  Welcome to Chisholm. I’m Carina Garland. I’m the federal member for Chisholm. NORMAN HERMANT, REPORTER: In Melbourne’s east Chisholm is two-way battle in a seat that’s been held almost equally by Labor and the Liberals over the last half century.    CARINA GARLAND:  I grew up in a family where my parents ran a medical practice.  NORMAN HERMANT:  Both Carina Garland, the sitting Labor member and her Liberal challenger, Dr Katie Allen have been boosted by their party leaders.  It’s no secret the Liberals need to win back seats in Melbourne to win this election and Chisholm is now marginal - a realistic target.    Labor’s Carina Garland won the seat back from the Liberals at the last election.  Chisholm has one of the largest Chinese communities in the country.  CARINA GARLAND:  I've worked really hard to work with the community, because I acknowledge and understand how they were made to feel by Peter Dutton and Scott Morrison under the previous government.  I am the chair of the Parliamentary Friends of China. That is important to my community that I have that role.  Our seat is very multicultural. I am from a migrant background myself.  NORMAN HERMANT:  The president of the Chinese Association of Monash says that work has paid off.  MICHAEL MIAO, PRESIDENT OF CHINESE ASSOCIATION OF MONASH (translated):  Carina, as a member of parliament, she has done a lot for us in the past three years including maintaining close contact and communication with us.  NORMAN HERMANT:  The most recent census data shows the electorate is home to people from a range of cultural backgrounds with more than half of the electorate’s population born overseas. In 2021, one in seven people were born in China and Mandarin or Cantonese was the first language for almost one in four people in Chisholm.  After a re-distribution of federal seats last year Labor’s margin in Chisholm has shrunk to 3.3 per cent. The Liberals have this seat in their sights. KATIE ALLEN:  This is an inner metropolitan seat full of aspirational families of people who should really vote Liberal.  To me this seat should be a Liberal seat and Peter Dutton himself has said this is a critical seat to the path to government for the Coalition. NORMAN HERMANT: Chisholm’s electoral boundaries have changed seven times since 1990.  In the latest re-distribution Chisholm lost parts of the electorate to the north and gained parts of the abolished seat of Higgins - where Liberal Katie Allen was elected the federal member from 2019 to 2022. It’s one of four seats in Melbourne’s east where the Liberals believe they have the best prospects. They need to oust Labor MPs there and in Aston and hold Menzies and Deakin. The one issue Katie Allen says she hears more than any other? No surprises here – cost-of-living.  KATIE ALLEN:  Do you mind me asking do you rent? KATIE ALLEN:  Have you found the mortgage has gone up a lot?  VOX POP:  Honestly when we first bought this house it was under 2. Right now, it’s nearly 6.  We feel like okay; we work very hard but work only for bank. NORMAN HERMANT: Chisholm is a seat full of families striving to get ahead. Median incomes are higher than the national average. Mortgages are also significantly higher. So are the number of households under mortgage stress. NORMAN HERMANT:  Voter Dennis Young is worried about how his 24-year-old will ever afford their own home.  KATIE ALLEN:  We’re just asking what the biggest issue coming up to the May 3rd election for you? DENNIS YOUNG: Probably just getting kids into homes. I think it’s just a total of everything going on.  COVID caused the prices to go up. We had mass construction trying to happen at the same time and we just dropped the ball on supply.      These kids are going to be in their 30s before they can get a house.  NORMAN HERMANT: There’s another issue that comes up consistently - crime. KATIE ALLEN:  I’m just door knocking to see what issues are important for people.  VOX POP:  I just got car theft last night.  KATIE ALLEN:  It got broken into last night? NORMAN HERMANT:  Allen knows for the most part crime is not a federal issue. She says the voters she talks to don’t care. KATIE ALLEN:  They know it’s a state issue but they are actually saying that’s because the economy’s not being managed properly, therefore the service is not being delivered.  VOX POP:  It’s alright, James they're on the right side People re-offend and they’re out on bail and you just watch it, and you think how can this go on and on and on...  NORMAN HERMANT:  Uni student Maddy Jeffrey Moore will be voting in Chisholm for the first time at this year’s federal election. The 22-year-old grew up in Tasmania and moved to Melbourne to study at Monash University. How important is the cost-of-living issue?  MADDY JEFFREY-MOORE, CHISHOLM VOTER:  I think the government has made a lot of good measures to kind of provide some immediate relief.  I know for myself, rent is, the increase to rent assistance and energy assistance. You know, it's like a little goes a long way, I guess. In the long run, just, you know, it makes less of a hit to the bank account, which does help with cost-of-living. NORMAN HERMANT:  Maddy Jeffrey Moore says she voted independent in the last election. This time she won’t be voting Liberal and that is due to the party leader.    MADDY JEFFREY-MOORE: I think Dutton has been echoing some of the stuff that's been going on in the US that, you know, his rebranded DOGE and his plans to like cut jobs in the public sector.  you know, even the let's get Australia back on track. You know, it kind of sounds like, Make America Great Again, and it kind of echoes that. NORMAN HERMANT:  For the candidates it's now a sprint to election day but on the streets, there are few signs the vote is just two and a half weeks away.  In parts of Chisholm, it feels like the campaign hasn’t even started. The Liberals hold only two seats in metropolitan Melbourne but in outer suburban Chisholm the Liberals believe they can win the seat back from Labor. The deal would be a record sum for a US sports franchise: a group led by Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales bought the NFL’s Washington Commanders for $6.05bn in 2023. The Celtics’ current owners, the Grousbeck family, said last June that they intended to sell the team in 2024 or 2025. ESPN reports that Wyc Grousbeck will continue as the team’s CEO until the end of the 2027-28 season. The sale would represent a huge return in investment for the Grousbecks and partner Steve Pagliuca: they led a group that bought the team for $360m in 2002. Pagliuca had hoped to take sole ownership of the Celtics but was outbid by Chisholm. On Thursday, he said he was “saddened to find out that we have not been selected in the process.” Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porziņģis are still in their prime but Tatum is due a huge payday and keeping the roster together in the long-term could prove difficult this season has been a strong one for the Celtics and they sit second in the NBA Eastern Conference Last year, Forbes ranked the Celtics as the fourth-most valuable NBA team at $6bn The Golden State Warriors were ranked No 1 with an estimated value of $8.8bn Chisholm is a Celtics fan and grew up in the Boston area The New York Yankees are moving one of their top prospects up a level with a well-deserved promotion has had a red-hot start to the season to earn his move up the ladder Lombard is heading from High-A Hudson Valley to Double-A Somerset, per ESPN's Jeff Passan Lombard was batting .329 with a .496 on-base percentage and .488 slugging percentage The 19-year old had one home run and 13 RBI Lombard has walked 23 times compared to just 22 strikeouts both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus ranked Lombard as a top-100 prospect He was a first-round pick in the 2023 draft out of Gulliver Preparatory School in Pinecrest He's 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds and has played all over the infield already in the minors Lombard might still be a year away from the Bronx The Yankees certainly wish they could have Lombard now with the injuries to Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm the fans at Double-A Somerset will get a show Billy Heyen is a freelance writer with The Sporting News He is a 2019 graduate of Syracuse University who has written about many sports and fantasy sports for The Sporting News Sports reporting work has also appeared in a number of newspapers including the Sandusky Register and Rochester Democrat & Chronicle The New York Yankees might soon be forced to make a trade Jazz Chisholm is out for a month-plus with tears in his right oblique Anthony Volpe heard a "pop" in his left shoulder on Saturday and is out of Sunday's lineup That's New York's second baseman and shortstop The Yankees are relying Sunday on Pablo Reyes and Oswald Peraza to hold down second base and shortstop with career journeyman Jorbit Vivas on the bench behind them Especially if Volpe's injury is bad, the Yankees should pursue a trade target who is popular among fans on social media: Brendan Donovan MORE: Breaking down Anthony Volpe's injury Donovan would play second base if New York acquired him from the Cardinals the 28-year old is batting .333 with three home runs Louis is in fourth place in the NL Central and could be looking to trade away its older players for prospects was a .278 hitter in a full season of starts in 2024 He'd at least allow the Yankees to play the hot hand at shortstop while holding down the every-day job at second either he or Donovan could play third base but the Yankees should pick up the phone on Donovan immediately Billy Heyen is a freelance writer with The Sporting News.

Dr Liu said both major parties were being more careful this time around with messaging to Chinese-Australian voters after the 2022 federal election results Jill Sheppard says Chinese-Australian voters may not take the parties on face value "I think it is really important to remember just how willing Chinese-Australian voters are to punish candidates in governments that they don't feel are talking to them," Dr Sheppard said "What's a particular challenge with Chinese-Australian voters is that they're not willing necessarily to take the parties on face value."

'I actually just was talking a couple of minutes ago to him he even said he couldn´t believe it. So we'll see,' Boone said. 'I think it´s going to be some time. In his mind it's going to be real quick but I think it´s going to be a while, but we'll just see how he heals up.' Chisholm grabbed at his side after fouling off a first pitch from Kyle Gibson during the first inning, took a ball and then stepped out of the batter's box to stretch the side, prompting Boone and an athletic trainer to come out and speak with him. 'That's kind of why the number is four to six weeks,' Boone said. 'That being said, Jazz, his history is he is quick healer, so we´ll see, but that´s kind of the easy diagnosis.' Chisholm remained in the game, doubled into the right-field corner on the next pitch and when the ball was bobbled headed to third and slid in headfirst.  He appeared in discomfort and immediately left the game for a pinch runner. 'I'm really not as concerned as everybody else,' he said after the game. 'I tore my oblique before. I know it´s not torn or anything.' Chisholm didn't play Wednesday and was to have tests Thursday after the team returned to New York. Acquired from Miami last July 27, Chisholm is hitting .181 with seven homers and 17 RBIs in 30 games. He was sidelined between August 12 and 23 last year because of a sprained left elbow sustained on a headfirst slide.

More Trophy before the start of the Championship parade in Boston (Photo by Joseph Prezioso/Anadolu via Getty Images) One of the major concerns of new ownership entering the fold is how they’re planning to navigate the expensive payroll and luxury tax bill the Celtics are on track to have $500 million in committed salaries plus tax payments for the 2025-26 roster Whether or not that number continues to rise will depend on the governing body’s willingness to keep Boston’s core together That’s why most Boston fans rejoiced when it was clear John Henry and Fenway Sports Group didn’t emerge as serious threats to purchasing the team Their reputation hasn’t been the greatest as it relates to being willing to spend long-term money and retain successful groups he appears dedicated to keeping the team competitive As any successful businessman in the sports world knows that will require paying for top talent and doing what it takes to outpace competitors “Growing up on the North Shore and attending college in New England I have been a die-hard Celtics fan my entire life,” Chisholm said in a statement to Business Wire “I understand how important the Celtics are to the city of Boston – the role the team plays in the community is different than any other city in the country I also understand that there is a responsibility as a leader of the organization to the people of Boston Chisholm also went on the record with ESPN speaking on the state of the franchise and letting Celtics fans know he’s not trying to disrupt anything “The team is in a great place right now,” he told Shams Charania and Joe Mazzulla have done amazing jobs and my approach is to win and raise banners That’s in the near term and long term." Chisholm’s goal is to extend the window of this current iteration of the team that breezed through the NBA playoffs last year and still looks to be an unmistakable contender as long as the Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown duo remain intact The Yankees announced Friday that they placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain He appeared to be uncomfortable in his first at-bat of the game holding his side after fouling off the first pitch but was replaced by a pinch runner on the bases and didn't return The 27-year-old wasn't too worried about the oblique issue after the game “I’m really not as concerned as everybody else,” Chisholm said, via Hoch I can cough without any pain or anything like that The former All-Star is in the midst of his second year in New York,

campaign owning a .181/.304/.410 slash line in 30 appearances despite racking up seven homers New York could rely on infielder Jorbit Vivas after calling him up on Friday Vivas has recorded 30 hits in

pic.twitter.com/qw5VBKPB0b Chisholm clarifies: It's his obliqueApril 30th BALTIMORE – The official announcement over the public-address system in the Camden Yards press box prompted more than a few quizzical stares, sharing that Yankees infielder had exited Tuesday’s game with “right flank discomfort.” “Maybe me, I don’t know,” Chisholm said with a grin after the Yankees' 15-3 win over the Orioles it is in the flank – it really is in my flank let’s roll with it – and perhaps it’s a good sign for Chisholm and the Yankees that he is handling it so lightheartedly Chisholm sustained the injury on a first-inning foul ball grimacing and reaching for his left side after fouling off the first pitch of his at-bat against Kyle Gibson which prompted a brief examination from Boone and assistant athletic trainer Alfonso Malaguti Though Chisholm remained in the game to stroke a double down the right-field line he was swiftly replaced by pinch-runner Oswald Peraza After leaving the game sliding into third base, Jazz Chisholm Jr. will have testing on his right oblique.#YANKSonYES pic.twitter.com/qw5VBKPB0b Boone did not use the word “flank,” and he said he is concerned about an oblique injury even though Chisholm told his manager he was “fine.” Chisholm is expected to undergo an MRI on Thursday in New York “I’m really not as concerned as everybody else,” Chisholm said Chisholm’s exit came as the Yankees enjoyed their second four-homer first inning of the season Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger all going deep “I know he’s been pretty unlucky so far this season.” In his first full season as a Yankee after being acquired last July Chisholm is batting .181 (19-for-105) with seven homers and 17 RBIs in 30 games it could mean more reps at second base for Oswaldo Cabrera Jorbit Vivas has been hitting well for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Cabrera has been the Yankees’ de facto starting third baseman with DJ LeMahieu (left calf right hip) working to return from a Minor League rehab assignment LeMahieu received a cortisone injection in his right hip on Tuesday which Boone characterized as “preemptive,” as LeMahieu “felt something coming on” after missing time last year with a right hip impingement it was pretty minor,” Boone said of LeMahieu who has played in four games for Double-A Somerset after missing nearly all of Spring Training His way is to power through things and grind through things I think it’s him saying this is something that has worked for him in the past when he’s had some issues He just wants to make sure he gives himself the best

key seats while recent byelections and the redrawing of electoral boundaries have tightened the margins in some electorates Liberals are also keen to oust teals in former blue-ribbon seats Here’s a guide to Victoria’s battleground seats These candidates are fighting it out in Victoria’s key seats.Credit: Marija Ercegovac Chisholm has undergone a significant change to its electoral boundaries since 2022 setting the stage for a tight race between two familiar faces It means the electorate has lost the multicultural voters of Box Hill and Blackburn In 2022, Labor’s Carina Garland took the seat from the incumbent, the Liberal Party’s Gladys Liu with a margin of 6.4 per cent – but the new boundaries have halved it Garland, a long-standing Labor Party operative and Trades Hall worker, will be up against Liberal Katie Allen a paediatrician transplanted from the eliminated seat of Higgins Allen won the seat of Higgins in 2019 before being trumped by Labor at the last election the Greens – who came in third at the last election with 12.6 per cent of primary votes – have put up Tim Randall healthcare and education will be top of voters’ concerns at the ballot.– Sophie Aubrey Deakin is quintessential middle-class Melbourne, home to the real-life suburban cul-de-sac that served as the fictional location for Neighbours’ Ramsay Street Taking in outer-eastern suburbs such as Ringwood, Mitcham, Vermont and Croydon, it is the most marginal Liberal-held seat in Australia. The last redistribution shaved the margin from a wafer-thin 0.2 per cent to a cigarette paper’s width of 0.02 per cent Senior Liberal Michael Sukkar has been MP for Deakin since 2013 Labor candidate Matt Gregg is running for the second time having achieved a 4.5 per cent two-party-preferred swing in 2022 who polled 14 per cent of the vote last time Labor held the seat in the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd years between 2007 and 2013 and has made ground in the past two elections The cost of living is likely to be a significant issue here where income and home-ownership levels are close to the national median The seat also has a large Chinese-born population so policies regarding China could be influential The Coalition cannot afford to lose a seat like Deakin if it hopes to gain ground in Victoria.– Adam Carey Labor’s grip on the outer bayside seat of Dunkley is about to be tested, after winning it at last year’s byelection triggered by the death of popular local MP Peta Murphy Murphy had held the seat since 2019 and increased her margin at the 2022 election but the March 2024 byelection resulted in a swing of about 3.6 per cent to the Liberals narrowing Labor’s hold on the marginal seat now faces her first general election fight She’s again up against Liberal candidate Nathan Conroy – a former Frankston mayor – after defeating him at the byelection Dunkley takes in the working-class suburbs of Frankston Cost-of-living pressures and infrastructure will be the main fight here.– Rachael Dexter Tim Wilson is a man on a mission this election seeking to reclaim the former Liberal heartland seat of Goldstein from independent Zoe Daniel Three years ago, Daniel ended the Liberal Party’s dominance in Goldstein which stretches along Port Phillip Bay from Brighton to Beaumaris and is one of a handful of Victorian seats that has never been held by the Labor Party elected with a 3.3 per cent margin* after her campaign focused on climate and integrity in politics Daniel says these issues are as relevant as ever but she’s also keenly aware that the cost of living is front-of-mind for many even in one of Victoria’s wealthiest electorates Wilson sees this as his opportunity because economics is typically a sweet spot for Liberals Other challengers to Daniel are Alana Galli-McRostie (Greens) Andrew Montgomery (Family First) and David Segal (Libertarian Party) The Labor Party is yet to select a candidate This election will determine whether the Liberal Party has lost some of its blue-ribbon electorates like Goldstein for years.– Cara Waters The most affluent electorate in Melbourne is also the site of Australia’s most acrimonious election campaign Independent MP Monique Ryan’s victory over former treasurer Josh Frydenberg at the last election was the biggest of the teal movement, which routed inner-city Liberals via well-resourced campaigns centred on climate action and integrity The Liberals aim to win their former blue-ribbon seat with a similarly blue-ribbon name: Amelia Hamer, the grandniece of former Victorian premier Sir Rupert Hamer whose reign in the 1970s was marked by social reforms and moderation She will benefit from a redrawn seat that now includes Toorak – a suburb synonymous with wealth and conservatism She has put the cost of living and housing affordability at the top of her policy platform Hamer, too, says these are priorities. She pitches herself as a Millennial renter, which may have currency among younger voters moving into suburbs like Hawthorn, home to Swinburne University. However, while Hamer currently rents in Hawthorn it has been revealed she owns two investment properties Ryan has touted her advocacy to curb HECS debts to sway younger voters, too. But her campaign took an early hit when her husband was caught removing a Hamer sign every vote counts in Kooyong.– Lachlan Abbott Sitting Liberal MP Dan Tehan is fending off a spirited challenge from independent former radio host Alex Dyson The challenger’s distinctive orange posters and kelpie signs are dotted extensively throughout the vast and traditionally conservative electorate which stretches from Anglesea on the Surf Coast to the South Australian border and as far inland as Ararat The state of roads is a persistent bugbear for Wannon voters but the prospect of offshore wind farms on the south-west coast might also figure in this campaign Dyson has some hefty financial backing from campaign group Climate 200 which seeks to pressure governments into stronger action on climate change Tehan has held the previously safe seat since 2010 But Dyson eroded his margin at the previous two elections enough to render the seat marginal – Tehan holds it with a margin of 3.8 per cent* – and set up a compelling contest Boundary changes since the last election may also play to Dyson’s advantage.– Benjamin Preiss The Liberals were rocked when Labor’s Mary Doyle took the historically blue stronghold of Aston in Melbourne’s outer east at a byelection two years ago – the first time the seat went red The byelection was triggered by the resignation of former Liberal MP Alan Tudge Doyle defeated now-Deputy Lord Mayor of Melbourne Roshena Campbell with a 6.4 per cent swing It was the first time in more than a century that a sitting federal government won a seat from the opposition in a byelection and local private school deputy principal and former Knox mayor Manny Cicchiello is raring to defeat Doyle a former union organiser who grew up in public housing The electorate spans a mix of middle-class and mortgage-belt suburbs – including Boronia Wantirna and Rowville – with voters focused on cost-of-living pressures health services and local roads.– Rachael Dexter Labor backbencher Rob Mitchell has held the seat of McEwen since 2010 following the retirement of Liberal MP Fran Bailey The seat takes in fast-growing mortgage-belt communities on Melbourne’s northern outskirts as well as several Macedon Ranges communities Mitchell’s greatest threat is Liberal candidate Jason McClintock who previously ran an information technology business A redistribution in McEwen favours Labor slightly but this seat is still considered very marginal The cost of living is sure to be among the big issues in this electorate which has one of the highest proportions of households with a mortgage in Victoria Labor can ill afford to hand back this seat to the Liberals if it is to retain government.– Benjamin Preiss Named after Liberal Party founder and Australia’s longest-serving prime minister, Sir Robert Menzies this middle-class and multicultural seat in Melbourne’s east has been held by the Liberals since its inception 41 years ago Incumbent Keith Wolahan has been MP since 2022 after the Afghan war veteran toppled veteran conservative MP Kevin Andrews in an internal battle in 2021 The staunchly Liberal seat turned marginal at the last election when the two-party-preferred margin between the Liberals and the ALP was slashed from 7 per cent to 0.7 per cent a first-time candidate and lawyer with Slater & Gordon while the Greens will again be represented by former business journalist Bill Pheasant after he lifted the minor party’s primary vote from 10 to 14 per cent in 2022 Menzies stretches from middle-suburban Box Hill North and Bulleen through Doncaster to leafy Warrandyte and Wonga Park It has one of the country’s largest Chinese-born populations and half of its households speak a language other than English at home.– Adam Carey When Samantha Ratnam last contested Wills in 2016 she came close to breaking Labor’s near-continuous grip on the seat since 1949 has increased Labor’s vote at each election he faces a tougher contest in a seat spanning progressive Brunswick and Coburg and Labor-leaning Pascoe Vale and Hadfield Ratnam, 47, a former local mayor and ex-Greens leader, is a strong candidate in her own right, but a

Subscribers can sign up to our weekly Inside Politics newsletter here. Cost-of-living relief will be on many voters\\u2019 minds as Victorians in the mortgage belt suburbs and beyond go to the polls this federal election. Labor and the Coalition face challenges in key seats, while recent byelections and the redrawing of electoral boundaries have tightened the margins in some electorates. Liberals are also keen to oust teals in former blue-ribbon seats. Here\\u2019s a guide to Victoria\\u2019s battleground seats, the main candidates and campaign issues. Chisholm has undergone a significant change to its electoral boundaries since 2022, following the abolition of Higgins, setting the stage for a tight race between two familiar faces. The swing seat now spreads east to west, centred on suburbs including Ashburton, Ashwood, Mount Waverley and Glen Waverley, rather than north to south. It means the electorate has lost the multicultural voters of Box Hill and Blackburn, as well as Oakleigh. Instead, it now takes in the leafy, old-money suburbs of Malvern East, Glen Iris, Ashburton and part of Camberwell. In 2022, Labor\\u2019s Carina Garland took the seat from the incumbent, the Liberal Party\\u2019s , with a margin of 6.4 per cent \\u2013 but the new boundaries have halved it. Garland, a long-standing Labor Party operative and Trades Hall worker, will be up against Liberal , a paediatrician transplanted from the eliminated seat of Higgins. Allen won the seat of Higgins in 2019 before being trumped by Labor at the last election. This year in Chisholm, the Greens \\u2013 who came in third at the last election with 12.6 per cent of primary votes \\u2013 have put up Tim Randall, an architect in the disability sector. Independent candidate Kath Davies, of Voices for Chisholm, is a new entrant in the field. Cost of living, healthcare and education will be top of voters\\u2019 concerns at the ballot.\\u2013 Sophie Aubrey Deakin is quintessential middle-class Melbourne, home to the real-life suburban cul-de-sac that served as the fictional location for Neighbours\\u2019 . Taking in outer-eastern suburbs such as Ringwood, Mitcham, Vermont and Croydon, it is the most marginal Liberal-held seat in Australia. The last redistribution shaved the margin from a wafer-thin 0.2 per cent to a cigarette paper\\u2019s width of . Senior Liberal Michael Sukkar has been MP for Deakin since 2013. Labor candidate Matt Gregg is running for the second time, having achieved a 4.5 per cent two-party-preferred swing in 2022. The Greens, who polled 14 per cent of the vote last time, have preselected Amy Mills. Labor held the seat in the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd years between 2007 and 2013 and has made ground in the past two elections. The cost of living is likely to be a significant issue here, where income and home-ownership levels are close to the national median. The seat also has a large Chinese-born population, so policies regarding China could be influential. The Coalition cannot afford to lose a seat like Deakin if it hopes to gain ground in Victoria.\\u2013 Adam Carey Labor\\u2019s grip on the outer bayside seat of Dunkley is about to be tested, after winning it at last year\\u2019s triggered by the . Murphy had held the seat since 2019 and increased her margin at the 2022 election, but the March 2024 byelection resulted in a swing of about 3.6 per cent to the Liberals, narrowing Labor\\u2019s hold on the marginal seat. Labor\\u2019s new MP, Jodie Belyea, a former not-for-profit director, now faces her first general election fight. She\\u2019s again up against Liberal candidate Nathan Conroy \\u2013 a former Frankston mayor \\u2013 after defeating him at the byelection. Dunkley takes in the working-class suburbs of Frankston, Seaford and parts of Langwarrin, as well as the more affluent Mount Eliza. Cost-of-living pressures and infrastructure will be the main fight here.\\u2013 Rachael Dexter is a man on a mission this election, seeking to reclaim the former Liberal heartland seat of Goldstein from independent Zoe Daniel. Three years ago, , which stretches along Port Phillip Bay from Brighton to Beaumaris, and is one of a handful of Victorian seats that has never been held by the Labor Party. Daniel, a former ABC journalist, was part of the 2022 teal wave, elected with a 3.3 per cent margin* after her campaign focused on climate and integrity in politics. Daniel says these issues are as relevant as ever, but she\\u2019s also keenly aware that the cost of living is front-of-mind for many, even in one of Victoria\\u2019s wealthiest electorates, where the median weekly income is $1068, compared to the state median of $803. Wilson sees this as his opportunity because economics is typically a sweet spot for Liberals. Other challengers to Daniel are Alana Galli-McRostie (Greens), Andrew Montgomery (Family First) and David Segal (Libertarian Party). The Labor Party is yet to select a candidate. This election will determine whether the Liberal Party has lost some of its blue-ribbon electorates like Goldstein for years.\\u2013 Cara Waters The most affluent electorate in Melbourne is also the site of Australia\\u2019s most acrimonious election campaign. Independent MP \\u2019s victory over former treasurer Josh Frydenberg at the last election was the biggest of the teal movement, which via well-resourced campaigns centred on climate action and integrity. The Liberals aim to win their former blue-ribbon seat with a similarly blue-ribbon name: , the grandniece of former , whose reign in the 1970s was marked by social reforms and moderation. She will benefit from a redrawn seat that now includes Toorak \\u2013 a suburb synonymous with wealth and conservatism. Ryan still has an army of volunteers. She has put the cost of living and housing affordability at the top of her policy platform. Hamer, too, says these are priorities. She pitches herself as a , which may have currency among younger voters moving into suburbs like Hawthorn, home to Swinburne University. However, while Hamer currently rents in Hawthorn it has been revealed . Ryan has touted her advocacy to curb HECS debts to sway younger voters, too. But her campaign took an early hit when her , forcing an apology. With a margin of less than 3 per cent, every vote counts in Kooyong.\\u2013 Lachlan Abbott Sitting Liberal MP Dan Tehan is fending off a spirited challenge from independent former radio host . The challenger\\u2019s distinctive orange posters and kelpie signs are dotted extensively throughout the vast and traditionally conservative electorate, which stretches from Anglesea on the Surf Coast to the South Australian border and as far inland as Ararat. The state of roads is a persistent bugbear for Wannon voters, but the prospect of offshore wind farms on the south-west coast might also figure in this campaign. Dyson has some hefty financial backing from campaign group Climate 200, which seeks to pressure governments into stronger action on climate change. Tehan has held the previously safe seat since 2010. But Dyson eroded his margin at the previous two elections enough to render the seat marginal \\u2013 Tehan holds it with a margin of 3.8 per cent* \\u2013 and set up a compelling contest. Boundary changes since the last election may also play to Dyson\\u2019s advantage.\\u2013 Benjamin Preiss were rocked when took the historically blue stronghold of Aston in Melbourne\\u2019s outer east at a byelection two years ago \\u2013 the first time the seat went red. The byelection was triggered by the , following an affair with a staffer. Doyle defeated now-Deputy Lord Mayor of Melbourne Roshena Campbell with a 6.4 per cent swing. It was the first time in more than a century that a sitting federal government won a seat from the opposition in a byelection. Now, the Liberals have dusted themselves off, and local private school deputy principal and former Knox mayor Manny Cicchiello is raring to defeat Doyle, a former union organiser who grew up in public housing. The electorate spans a mix of middle-class and mortgage-belt suburbs \\u2013 including Boronia, Ferntree Gully, Wantirna and Rowville \\u2013 with voters focused on cost-of-living pressures, crime, health services and local roads.\\u2013 Rachael Dexter Labor backbencher Rob Mitchell has held the seat of McEwen since 2010, following the retirement of Liberal MP Fran Bailey. The seat takes in fast-growing mortgage-belt communities on Melbourne\\u2019s northern outskirts, including the City of Whittlesea, as well as several Macedon Ranges communities. Mitchell\\u2019s greatest threat is Liberal candidate Jason McClintock, who previously ran an information technology business. A redistribution in McEwen favours Labor slightly, but this seat is still considered very marginal. The cost of living is sure to be among the big issues in this electorate, which has one of the highest proportions of households with a mortgage in Victoria. Labor can ill afford to hand back this seat to the Liberals if it is to retain government.\\u2013 Benjamin Preiss Named after Liberal Party founder and Australia\\u2019s longest-serving prime minister, , this middle-class and multicultural seat in Melbourne\\u2019s east has been held by the Liberals since its inception 41 years ago. Incumbent has been MP since 2022, after the Afghan war veteran toppled veteran conservative MP Kevin Andrews in an internal battle in 2021. The staunchly Liberal seat turned marginal at the last election, when the two-party-preferred margin between the Liberals and the ALP was slashed from 7 per cent to 0.7 per cent. Labor has preselected Gabriel Ng, a first-time candidate and lawyer with Slater & Gordon, while the Greens will again be represented by former business journalist Bill Pheasant, after he lifted the minor party\\u2019s primary vote from 10 to 14 per cent in 2022. Menzies stretches from middle-suburban Box Hill North and Bulleen through Doncaster to leafy Warrandyte and Wonga Park. It has one of the country\\u2019s largest Chinese-born populations, and half of its households speak a language other than English at home.\\u2013 Adam Carey When Samantha Ratnam last contested Wills in 2016, she came close to breaking Labor\\u2019s near-continuous grip on the seat since 1949. She secured 45 per cent of the vote, but Peter Khalil won on preferences. Since then, Khalil, 52, has increased Labor\\u2019s vote at each election. This time, he faces a tougher contest in a seat spanning progressive Brunswick and Coburg and Labor-leaning Pascoe Vale and Hadfield. Ratnam, 47, a former local mayor and ex-Greens leader, is a strong candidate in her own right, but has boosted her chances. Green-friendly booths in Fitzroy North and North Carlton have been added. Gone are booths in Labor strongholds Glenroy and Oak Park. The cost of living, housing and health will be key issues. With 10 per cent of voters Muslim, the Israel-Palestine conflict will also matter. Once famously represented by Labor great Bob Hawke (1980-92), the Greens have targeted Wills for more than a decade. At each election, the Greens talk up their chance of a win and, to Labor\\u2019s delight, they fail. Could things be different this time? \\u2013 Clay Lucas A crowded field is contesting this diverse electorate. It takes in Phillip Island and the Bass and South Gippsland coasts, and stretches as far inland as Mount Baw Baw. has held the seat continuously for the Liberal Party since 2004, which now sits on a margin of just 2.9 per cent. But having lost Liberal preselection, Broadbent is having another crack at retaining Monash, this time as an independent. The Liberal Party has preselected Mary Aldred, the former chief executive of the Committee for Gippsland. She has already been active in the electorate, spruiking funding commitments for local projects. Independent Deb Leonard, who has the backing of Climate 200, is also having another go after contesting the 2022 election. Kilcunda resident Tully Fletcher is the Labor candidate. Housing affordability, the cost of living and concerns about infrastructure will likely be hot-button issues, particularly in growth areas, including Drouin, Warragul and Wonthaggi.\\u2013 Benjamin Preiss In Melbourne\\u2019s west, the traditional Labor heartland, Hawke is the seat to watch. As a population boom brings shifting demographics and new voting patterns, it is here that the ALP\\u2019s grip on the west is most showing signs of slipping. The sprawling electorate, created at the last election, is one of the of Australia. It takes in the ballooning centres of Sunbury, Melton and Bacchus Marsh, where greenfield development is rife, as well as smaller rural communities. Labor MP Sam Rae won the seat with a 7.6 per cent margin in 2022, a fall from 10.2 per cent in 2019 when comparing results of the same polling booths. A further slip would spell danger for Labor\\u2019s future in the west. This year, Rae will be defending his seat against Liberal Party candidate Simmone Cottom, whose campaign is trying to target ALP voters who feel taken for granted. Voters here will be on the lookout for election promises to improve infrastructure, including the region\\u2019s infrequent . Household budget pressures are also top of mind. The Greens have put up Sarah Newman, who ran in Chisholm in 2022, but is from Sunbury. Family First is also in the mix with Melanie Milutinovic.\\u2013 Sophie Aubrey Bruce, in Melbourne\\u2019s outer south-east, has been safely in Labor\\u2019s column since 1998, but the seat will be on the Liberal Party hit list as it could be swayed by a meaningful pitch to voters\\u2019 hip pockets. Split down the middle by the Monash Freeway, the electorate takes in Dandenong, Narre Warren and Berwick, with a demographic make-up weighted towards families with cars, kids and a mortgage. Julian Hill holds the seat for Labor, having won it with a 6.6 per cent margin at the last election, but a redistribution has cut that down slightly. The seat is home to Victoria\\u2019s largest population of Australians of Afghan heritage, which has been reflected in the Liberal preselection of Zahid Safi, an Afghanistan-born local businessman who wants to be his party\\u2019s first Muslim MP. The Greens have put forward academic and local councillor Rhonda Garad, while One Nation and Family First will also run candidates. If the swing against Labor is on come election day, Bruce could be among those to fall.\\u2013 Tom Cowie Calwell will be a litmus test of Labor\\u2019s frailties in the party\\u2019s traditional heartland, which is showing signs of disenchantment. The party suffered a 7.2 per cent swing at the last election, with United Australia and One Nation polling 8.9 per cent and 7 per cent of the vote respectively. The northern suburban seat includes economically disadvantaged Broadmeadows and Craigieburn, which have high rates of mortgage stress. It is heavily multicultural, with one of the largest Arabic-speaking populations in Australia. Veteran MP Maria Vamvakinou, who has held the seat since 2001, has retired, and the ALP has preselected , who is of Palestinian heritage. The Liberals have preselected Usman Ghani. Prominent local councillor has quit Labor to run as an independent. The Greens preselected Mohamed El-Masri, hoping to channel community anger about Gaza, only to see him defect to party.\\u2013 Adam Carey *The boundary has changed, and the margin displayed is a calculated estimate.
