On election day eve - a thread on Croakey's coverage of the Victorian election.
The role of the media, the rise in extremism and why we need to broaden the focus from hospitals and doctors to primary health care, prevention and social determinants is discussed in this wrap piece by @JenniferDoggett croakey.org/as-victorians-… #VicVotes2022
Also calling for a shift towards community-based care and prevention is @JudkinsSimon who warns that we are heading for a US-style system unless we change our thinking on priorities for health spending. croakey.org/as-the-victori…
While we are bombarded with controversies about ultra-conservatives Liberal candidates, why not turn our attention to something positive? This is a great article about eight young women running in the state election, including @georgievpurcell, @JacHawkinss and @Kate4Mornington.
They face questions about their experience, assuming they have less experience than older candidates because of their young age, but as @JacHawkinss has said, “Age isn’t a determination of experience" and "it’s obviously not a determination of effectiveness.”

However, while Labor primary drops significantly, the Coalition primary has barely risen, which means although a significant number of voters are abandoning Labor, most are opting for minor parties and indies rather than the Coalition.
Inevitably, some of the increased "Other" vote will flow back to the Coalition as preferences, resulting in a tightening of TPP result, as shown in the poll.
Thread on Matthew Guy’s preferences:
If the Liberals don’t like being associated with neo-Nazis they should stop flirting with them. It’s dangerous and proving Matthew Guy is unfit to hold the high office of Premier.

Firstly, there’s the so called ‘Freedom Party’ candidate who called for the Premier to be hanged. She co-organised the protest with gallows outside Vic Parliament with neo-Nazis.
