Will Muslim voters in the working-class north of this Labor stronghold unite with middle-class progressives in the south to vote for Greens because of Gaza?
The Greens will seek to unite conservative Muslim voters with young progressives to take a key Melbourne seat off Labor, in a high-profile electoral contest testing the electoral implications of the Albanese government’s nuanced position on the war in Gaza.
“Peter Khalil and Labor have failed renters, failed people who are trying to buy their first home, and failed to condemn the state of Israel’s invasion of Gaza,” Greens leader Adam Bandt said. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said too many civilians are dying and Foreign Minister Penny Wong has argued Israel’s international reputation is being damaged by their attacks.
“It tells you all you need to know about them that they see a tragedy as an opportunity for political gain.”
