    Six by-elections, one clear signal: Victoria is heading for a Coalition win - Switzer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When political events slip into the past it is often the case that historians see their results differently from the way in which partisans saw them at the time. Take, for example, the defeats of the Republic referendum in 1999 and the Voice referendum in 2023. At the time the Republic was seen as defeated by the model for the proposed president and the Voice was defeated also by its constitutional model. (It should have been legislated only.) Yet, over time I believe historians will say this: l

    Hanson’s poison pill: Why Labor should win another WA seat it has no right to - Switzer (opens the original)

    Calling the Coalition: my Victorian election numbers - Switzer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    With Victoria heading to the polls on 28 November, it’s time to put my numbers on the record. I predict a Coalition majority, a resurgent One Nation, and Jess Wilson as Premier and I explain exactly how I get there. The last Saturday in November every four years is the fixed date for Victoria’s general election for 88 members of the Legislative Assembly and 40 members of the Legislative Council. That means this year’s election will be held on 28 November. For the time being, I make just one pred
