Despite the very large margin in 2025, unfavourable redistributions of this seat, Labor’s dithering of choosing a candidate and this seat getting no attention what so ever the Labor performed extremely well. I must admit I was convinced that this seat would get a double digit margin after 2025 due to the cost of living pressures really bitting an electorate like this. It’s likely that Labor will preselect Jeff Springfield due to name recognition however I remain unconvinced that they’ll pick this seat up next time around. The Greens performed extremely well in the Officer booths and the Pakenham booths which is quite impressive for an outer suburban seat so far away from their traditional heartland.
