Hi Ben,
there is mistake at the top of the page as it says in blue Lib 10.8 instead of red Labor 10.8.
thanks, fixed
I’m not sure if Ian Cook will have another crack. I think the rusted-on Labor vote would make it hard.
He ran for a ward in Greater Dandenong at the 2024 council election and lost.
I think Cook is going for upper house this time under his new party banner
Labor was polling quite a bit better statewide when the 2023 by election was held, although turnout was a little down which probably didn’t help Labor, I remember it got very little media attention compared to the Werribee/Prahran by elections.
There is a significant ‘rusted on’ vote for Labor here but the 40% mark in 2023 is significantly down on Dan’s numbers, who rarely got pushed below 50%, the cracks are showing but not sure the Liberals have what it takes to actually win the seat, Ian Cook running third and directing preferences to them was probably a pathway to victory for them
