No smooth ride for Labor to a fourth term in Victoria
One Nation leader Warren Pickering's story of redemption took Victorian politics into new territory this week.
The Liberal Party's fourth term in Victoria appears less certain as Warren Pickering, a former One Nation leader, mounts a comeback. Pickering admitted to drug use and drink-driving offenses, reigniting discussions about integrity in Victorian politics. Despite scandals and a worsening debt, the Labor government remains in power but faces growing pressure.
Former Liberal MP Moira Deeming, now with Family First, reappeared, vowing to challenge the Liberals. Meanwhile, a rare human moment in Victorian politics emerged as Pickering openly discussed his past drug use at a press conference. The outcome remains uncertain, with polls suggesting One Nation could be significant disruptors in the upcoming state election on November 28.
