Opinion | Wannon has been a conservative stronghold for generations. But that could change in 2025, with independent Alex Dyson giving Liberal frontbencher Dan Tehan a serious run for his money.

Dan Tehan would be in major trouble then…

🚩a local cancer centre 66% paid for by Vic Labor & locals, he takes 100% credit for

🚩claims a regional freeway now rezoned Wannon (was Corangamite when built)
as his doing

🚩wind-farm flip flops just to get a climate crisis point.

I know local farmer Brad and his wife Tammy - they are hard workers like most of us, and deserve a better deal. I am proud to be part of Alex’s hardworking volunteer team getting a better deal for Wannon 🧡🧡

A more granular breakdown of this morning's Redbridge/Accent numbers, per Poll Bludger:
⬇️ L-NP likely lose: Sturt, Bass, Cowper, Calare, Monash
⬆️ L-NP likely gain: Chisholm, Aston, Dobell, Kooyong, Brisbane
≈ Too close to call: Goldstein - @zoedaniel.bsky.social up 51-49
❓Wannon, Bradfield?
Seat-by-seat, it's still looking like a minority government scenario for Labor. 76 seats (a majority) only a slim chance.

Yet it remains gratifying that James Campbell's the one
forced to concede "it's Albo's to lose" ...

Thinking of those bracing for TC Alfred.

Climate change = more intense cyclones further south

The major parties have ignored the risks we’re facing & investment in adaptation has been inadequate

We need leadership to protect the people & places we love

Alex Dyson ran an indie campaign with little resources against the incumbent Tehan last election, and was competitive. With extra backing, an early start and strong volunteer base he could end liberal control of the seat www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Peter Dutton is fighting to keep seats that were once considered unlosable as independents — better funded and better organised than before — join the race.
