Parties compared

Labor

Ben Carroll
Premier since 28 July 2026; Member for Niddrie

Integrity & government

I'm working hard every day, day and night, to do what I think is in Victoria's interests.

Integrity & government

I made it very clear. You only have to look at what I've done already.

Liberal

Jess Wilson
Leader of the Opposition since 18 November 2025; Member for Kew; leads the Liberal/National Coalition

Energy

Under a Liberals and Nationals government that I lead, Victorians will have a choice about how they heat their homes, how they cook their meals and how they run their businesses.

Roads

Every time it rains in Victoria, we shouldn't see more potholes opening up on our roads because this Labor government has failed to maintain our roads for 12 years.

Nationals

Danny O'Brien
Nationals leader; Member for Gippsland South; Coalition partner

Regional Victoria

One Nation will be a threat for us again and we're working very hard to make sure that we win people's votes because we've got a plan to get the state back on track and because we've got a plan for a fair share for regional Victoria.

The campaign

We've got the plan and if you want to get rid of the Labor Party, voting for One Nation doesn't help do that.

Greens

Ellen Sandell
Victorian Greens leader; Member for Melbourne

Housing & renting

My message to renters is, Labor doesn't care about you, if they did, we would have rent controls.

Housing & renting

If we had capped rent increases, renters would be living in their own homes by now instead of funnelling more and more of their income every year into their landlord's pockets.

One Nation

Warren Pickering
One Nation Victoria leader; candidate for Pakenham

Crime

The policy that I'm most proud of, and probably the most important to Victoria, is our crime policy.

Crime

We're proposing to utilise some of the estimated 10,000 suitably qualified contemporary veterans in this state to lean into the police force.

I respect your money.

Free dental clinics and cutting land tax are just some of the policies that I know will make a real difference for families across Ringwood.

As we've seen from this week's budget, if you cannot manage money, you can never look after the most vulnerable in our community.

We are seeing the result of a decade of financial mismanagement under Labor, with record taxes, record debt, and now cuts to services that are critical for Victorian women.

The policy that I'm most proud of, and probably the most important to Victoria, is our crime policy.

We're proposing to utilise some of the estimated 10,000 suitably qualified contemporary veterans in this state to lean into the police force.

Our community deserves to be a safe place to live and work, and these investments will put more people on the ground to prevent crime and support our local community.

This is a real investment in our community safety – supporting local businesses, putting more people on the ground and making sure people get help before problems escalate.

On council, I've seen first-hand the problems our state faces. From crime being out of control to struggling families and businesses, and I'm ready to help deliver our plan to fix it.

We need immediate action to reduce overcrowding and prevent deaths in custody, and we need the government to start investing in the things that actually make communities safer.

We're supporting manufacturing businesses in Melbourne's north to expand because it means more local jobs, more innovation and more Victorian-made products on shelves across the country and the world.

We're proud to grow a thriving, sustainable First Peoples tourism sector that empowers community, shares Traditional knowledge and positions Victoria as a global leader in meaningful, authentic travel experiences.

We all know we need a recovery plan, not just a plan for more lockdowns.

Our grants program will support new and existing businesses to take the next step and will mean a stronger, more competitive local economy.

I'm here to back the people of the Valley and especially Maryvale workers, but I don't think they know 100 per cent what is going on at the moment.

I wasn't picked by corporate bosses. I was elected by my peers to stand up for everyday tradies and small business owners.

This Centre of Excellence will put Victoria at the forefront of digital skills training, giving TAFEs and industry the tools to train the workforce our state needs.

By creating more pathways into VET teaching and investing in our existing educators, we're strengthening Victoria's TAFE network and giving more Victorians the opportunity to gain the skills they need for rewarding careers.

I trust that teachers and students enjoy these fantastic new facilities and reap their educational benefits for years to come.

I want to represent Bendigo East because I want young people growing up here to have every opportunity to build a good life and a good future right here in Bendigo.

Under a Liberals and Nationals government that I lead, Victorians will have a choice about how they heat their homes, how they cook their meals and how they run their businesses.

I've written to the Premier urging him not to enter into any tenders or contracts for new offshore wind transmission lines in Gippsland ahead of the state election.

We will restore proper protections for landholders and their right to challenge renewable energy projects and transmission lines in VCAT.

I'm determined to deliver a just transition that creates secure jobs while ensuring our communities can adapt and flourish.

Not only will the upgraded hospital offer more world-class care for locals, but it will also give our dedicated healthcare workers a better, safer, state-of-the-art workplace.

This project is gamechanger for our local community and once doors open next month, local families will have better access to care and support on their doorstep.

Our investments in sport and recreation infrastructure are making it easier for players, coaches, umpires and supporters of all abilities to get involved in local sports and their communities.

The Frankston Hospital Redevelopment is the largest ever health investment in our region, and as our community grows, it will support local families for generations to come.

The new Mental Health and Wellbeing Local in Northcote means our inner north community can access the mental health care we need close to home in a safe, supportive and welcoming environment.

We need a whole of community approach to prevent Family Violence in Ballarat. Our Respectful Relationships program plays an integral role in supporting students in understanding the importance of gender equality.

Preventing family violence starts with changing attitudes – and that change is happening right here in our local schools.

Our region has been demanding we do more to end violence against women and the uptake of this program is not just inspiring – but it is a model for every community across Victoria.

I've seen what Labor governments can do for regional healthcare – building the new Bendigo Hospital and hiring thousands of nurses and midwives so people here can get timely, high-quality care close to home. I want to keep delivering that for Bendigo West.

In the interests of all Victorians, let's have a truly independent inquiry to find out what happened, and whether it's happening elsewhere across our health system.

Everybody wanted to come to Chapel Street, which runs right through the electorate, but we've seen a demise in the seat.

I hope to play my small part in making it a better place, now and into the future.

We've heard the services are declining; if that's the case then the merger, in my view, is not working.

We know the current mental health workforce is overwhelmed and exhausted, with demand outstripping workforce availability.

As more people become eligible under these reforms, we'll also need to ensure there are enough trained providers to meet demand, so no one is left without support at the end of life.

Our foster carers are unsung heroes. They volunteer to support and look after vulnerable kids who, for a range of reasons, aren't safe at home.

My message to renters is, Labor doesn't care about you, if they did, we would have rent controls.

If we had capped rent increases, renters would be living in their own homes by now instead of funnelling more and more of their income every year into their landlord's pockets.

Victoria has the strongest rental protections in the country and this builds on our significant work to make renting fairer across the state.

These 26 new homes on Stewart Drive will mean more families in Werribee have access to a safe and secure home close to our great schools, the Werribee River Park, and services.

I think it will lead to more people leaving the property market, it'll lead to property prices being more unaffordable.

In Pascoe Vale, families deserve a good life in the suburbs we call home: affordable housing, climate action and well-funded schools, and local green spaces where we can come together as a community.

I believe we can secure affordable housing, protect renters, give first home buyers a better chance of owning a home, and ensure our community remains a place where people from all walks of life can thrive.

I have deep roots in our community and have a history of fighting for the west, engaging in local initiatives and advisory groups focused on active transport, urban ecology, regenerative housing, and climate issues.

I'm running to make the electorate of Preston fairer and greener by ensuring housing is affordable, renters are secure, and our iconic Preston Market remains in public hands.

For years, I've been exposing how broken our housing system is through my website shitrentals.org and my work online as 'purplepingers'.

I'm working hard every day, day and night, to do what I think is in Victoria's interests.

I made it very clear. You only have to look at what I've done already.

We believe, as a Coalition, that these proposed laws are unconstitutional.

This is an historic moment for LGBTQIA+ people who have been advocating for the protections to be expanded to protect our community from hate speech for years.

To save our state from the endemic corruption, crushing debt and the rising crime crisis, Labor has got to go. I remain fully committed to seeing that through.

MPs should reflect the communities they represent – it was one of the many reasons I put my hand up to get involved. And with both major parties letting Victorians down, we need a strong and independent crossbench more than ever.

I am pretty disillusioned with how the major parties are too often influenced by party politics, lobbyists and vested interests, rather than the people that they are elected to represent.

Reflecting my commitment to open government, I also made my entire mayoral diary public — the first Mayor in Boroondara to do so.

My approach is simple: listen, advocate and deliver — with proof, not just promises.

If elected to the crossbench, I pledge to maximise my vote by refusing to pass any government legislation, supply, or budgets until those 10 community-driven priorities are fully funded.

I'm not running to give Nepean another list of promises. I'm running to find out what happened to the promises we've already been given.

I'm Michelle Kennedy, and I'm running for Ivanhoe because this community deserves a representative who listens first, acts decisively, and answers only to you.

One Nation will be a threat for us again and we're working very hard to make sure that we win people's votes because we've got a plan to get the state back on track and because we've got a plan for a fair share for regional Victoria.

I think it's a real threat. Absolutely, we understand people are angry.

I am determined to retain the seat of Bass and will advocate on behalf of the electorate to ensure our community continues to prosper and grow.

People on the Bellarine, especially myself, have seen what's been going on over the past 12 years under a Labor government and we've just had enough.

The Mallee is in my blood, and in the Mallee we fight.

My job is to make sure the decisions made in Spring Street work for our community.

I look forward to seeing these projects come to life and the lasting benefits they will deliver for local residents and visitors alike.

When people approach my office for assistance, we don't ask who they voted for, I ask what their issue is and how we can support them to a better outcome.

I have had enough of this government, and I don't think I'm alone.

I have stood up for regional people, fought for better policy, and built a reputation as a strong, practical advocate who gets results and cares for the people I represent.

While a councillor, I've spent years fighting for better roads, more health services and housing that locals can afford.

I'm focused on delivering a fairer share of government funding for the regions and improving essential services for people of all ages.

I have stood up for our community, fought for the services and infrastructure we need, and built a reputation as a hard-working, practical community advocate who keeps their word and gets things done.

I have never needed permission from a political party to stand up for my community and I'm not going to start now.

Every time it rains in Victoria, we shouldn't see more potholes opening up on our roads because this Labor government has failed to maintain our roads for 12 years.

People that use Rosanna Road have waited for this project for decades – now we're getting on with the job to deliver North East Link.

We know that Jess Wilson will do a deal with One Nation.

We've got the plan and if you want to get rid of the Labor Party, voting for One Nation doesn't help do that.

This is our moment, let's show the rest of Australia, what a One Nation government can do.

I believe we can win the seat. I believe we can bring Morwell back to where it belongs, to make it a Labor seat again.

We need to see genuine change and we can't just wait for it to happen.

I just hope I can do them proud when I get in there.

A new migrant full of hope and selfless ambition as a first-time mother she would say to me in her belly, 'I want you to be a leader and I want you to change the world'.

I'll be on the ground each and every single day fighting for the people of Nepean as we lead into one of the most important state elections that we've seen.

I think people are just really looking for change at this time, and I love listening, I love caring, and I want to roll my sleeves up and fix what we can fix.

I'll work tirelessly every day as a local member to represent the people of Monbulk in whatever role I have the privilege of serving in.

On Council, I've worked hard to deliver tangible outcomes for our community and it would be a privilege to keep fighting for us in State Parliament.

I will always stand up for young people and renters, for families and small businesses, and for our climate and the values that make Prahran such a special place to live.

Hi, I'm Ben Carroll, the airport rail premier.

We're expanding Community Connectors and continuing to strengthen safety across our transport network.

The Suburban Rail Loop will transform Box Hill into one of Melbourne's most connected precincts – delivering faster travel and more jobs to our community.

Glen Waverley's new SRL station will strengthen our local economy and make it easier for people to live, work and study right here in the east.

We are making journeys across Melbourne's north safer and more accessible.

We are upgrading our tram network to make it easier and safer for passengers.

We are delivering more bus services making it easier to go shopping, get to work and school or catch the train.
