Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says history shows that Labor won’t win the Aston byelection forced by the resignation of the Liberals Alan Tudge.
“No government has won [an opposition seat in a byelection] for 100 years.”
At the last election, Mr Tudge held Aston by a 2.8 per cent margin after surviving a 7.4 per cent two-party preferred swing against him.
